Why not write a COBOL application that uses a FORTRAN subroutine to do

Actually (and I'm speaking with a LOT of experience) a COBOL program
(with or without FORTRAN or C subs) runs at exactly same speed as a C
program. BTW, you can call systemcall (like readdir()) directly from
COBOL, you don't need any wrapping subroutines.

You can try it with the free (and incomplete) GNU tiny COBOL (see:
http://tinycobol.org/ ) or with an old (one that compiles to standalone
program) MicroFucos COBOL.

Damn I forgot the smiley again. I promise it won't happen again.
