Thanks for that url, Dave. I stand corrected, they do deliver a PC version of COBOL (COBOL for Windows). From what we were told, yes the editor runs on the PC (it's a typical Eclipse editor with enhancements, RDz is Eclipse with IBM proprietary enhancements) and editing any PC file should be standard. As for the license fee, that is (as usual) entirely up to your company's software negotiators to work out with IBM. But AFAIK the retail $5,000 fee is per seat, not a site license. And at that it is better than the MicroFocus per-seat fee which was over $8,000 the last time I got a quote. (Also subject to negotiation, of course.)
