Bliss is let us call it an "ex-DEC whatever" language.

But I believe Dibol is available on VMS, Windows, Linux, AIX,
HP-UX and everything that supports .NET (Windows, Linux, macOS).
That is not everything with Cobol but it is a bit more than Bliss.

PS: I don't see what Dibol does for converting files between
     VMS Cobol and GNUCobol though.
