A compiler for the language. There are some free COBOL compilers but most of theses 'compilers' do not compile but convert the COBOL to C which then has to be compiled. For PL/1 I do not think that there is a free compiler - that works. Rexx is freely downloadable. Basically, just use your brain - know the mainframe languages available and seek yourself. Google can answer all this stuff.
