Kobol will work on any chip we compile it for as it uses GCC and Qt, we
will be porting it to PPC soon, and it already runs on IA-32, but without
the IDE.  Kobol also costs just $39.95 for download, which is hugely
cheaper than NetCobol.  We currently work on Windows and Linux and will see
about a Mac OS X port in the next month.  No run time costs either.
