Sorry, it looks like I am missing something. What does cost have to do 
with it? My understanding was that we were talking about something 
already present on your system or PUBLICLY (no monetary cost) available 
on the Internet.

And what about management policy? Do you mean the one that require you 
to build Ruby extensions with MF Cobol? Sorry to disappoint you, but I 
think it will not be possible. Just get GCC somehow and be happy ;-)
