dm1608,

I am reasonably sure that at least one vendor (Fujitsu, I believe)
has a COBOL.NET language product. You can use the existing COBOL
codebase to create .NET assemblies, and then simply decompile them
into C# using a free product such as Roeder's Reflector.

I'll admit to displaying my ignorance of COBOL here, but I thought it
was a non OO langauge. With .net being completely OO, I'm wondering
how the compiler would be able to convert the COBOL code into, IL at
all, never mind something non nightmarish when reflected back into C#.

Yes, there is OO COBOL. No, it's still not pretty. Just like its ancestor.
