RM-COBOL.  Ryan-McFarland.  Their compiler ran on most micros and
a number of Minis.  Eventually bought out by Micro-Focus, I believe.

Anybody here know what a Terak is?  LSI-11 with 28Kwords of memory
and 8" floppy disks.  I once did a project using RT-11 and COBOL on
a Terak with 4 floopies (the norm was one and at most two.  people
marveled at the tower on my desk!!)  Now those were the fun days.
