Are there any free business programming languages?

The language should come with source code to the compiler and relevant
tools,

should be portable between DOS and UNIX/Linux,

should support ISAM files,

and should support fixed point decimal arithmetic with no rounding
errors.

I have looked in the free languages catalog posted to netnews,
and saw nothing that looked appropriate, but maybe I just didn't
recongnize one of the languages listed as being suitable for
business programming.

Thanks.
