Some data processing departments (e.g., universities with massive databases)
use a language called NATURAL, running on an IBM mainframe. It's supposed to
be similar to COBOL (ugh). I cannot find out *anything* about this language.

Can someone please email (or post) some information about NATURAL, such as
its characteristics, difficulty of learning/writing/debugging, etc.? I would
be most, most grateful.
