Is there any way to spoof COBOL into passing the appropriate 32 bits, even
if it doesn't think they're typed as real?  Does COBOL allow you to call
PAUSE without using the SYSINTR file?
 
Can you call to a routine provided by another language than can convert your
integers into the appropriate real and then call PAUSE?
 
2 shots in the dark.
