I program in cobol and woulld appreciate a question/answer forum on
technical problems and suggestions for improving the language. The
cobol i use (AcuCobol) already has built-in windows and a symbolic
source code debugger. That's a lot more than a lot of the other
languages appearing in their own newsgroups can say.

IMHO, restricting news group existence to those with snob appeal
is just another kind of book burning. I want comp.lang.cobol
to exist and flourish.
