Greetings List Lurkers,

How about:

# apt-get install open-cobol

Maybe not the preferred dialect... Might be fun under Linux Mint.

   There was an OpenCOBOL in Fedora through their 23 release ...
   so until about five years ago.  The package no longer builds
   due to the removal of 'db4 support' -- Red Hat / Fedora had
   lots of words about license changes which I did not see were
   true, but * shrug *   Their circus, their monkeys

   There is a fairly mechanical writeup in pushing an OpenCOBOL 1.
   forward into the 2. product at [1].  Once I get a build solved
   under ClefOS 8 [in process], I'll see about getting it in
   there as well as in back into ClefOS 7
