Not a COBOL or Fortran guy but, I think that making it work with modern technologies is a beautiful thing. Well done!

my father in law is an old school guy - wrote FORTRAN for rockets and oceanography back in the day. Had to early retire to take care of ailing wife and has been out of the game for 20+ years, something like this would be a cool way to introduce him back.
