Besides, where would you find a COBOL compiler for a

IBM sold one that was adequate for learning COBOL.
There were also some good ones.
Was it "Micro-Focus" who was peddling "Structured COBOL", and even
"Object
Oriented COBOL"?
A smattering of assembly language to begin with
maybe. That's something someone will learn only if
they want to. Lots of people have problems with it.
Howzbout: simultaneously learning machine language and a high level
language?
