Keypoint and Linux?

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

 Run?
How would it use a Cobol database?  Cobol is a programming language.
There are GNU Cobol components for compiling (gcc, may have to add an
extension), but I've never heard of a Cobol database.   I'm working with
a Sybase database modeling tool on Windows right now (Power Builder 11)
and it can work with basically any database and supposedly reverse
engineer obscure ones, so they tell me.  I'm going to make a broad
statement and say that any ODBC-enabled database will work with Winders
and you should be able to get it to work with Linux too.  Any input from
DBAs?
