For many years, I kept around a plug-board labelled
"COBOL INTERPRETER",
just to prove that a COBOL interpreter was possible :-)
Are you using "interpreter" in two senses here, or just one? That is to
say, I'm not sure if you're saying the "COBOL interpreter" was just a
program that printed COBOL source on a punched card, or if you mean it
actually ran the program.
