COBOL ??
brf531@... 14th Feb 2012
"And if it is written in COBOL as well, it hasn't the chance of a SNOBOL in Hell!"
- Attributed to Gerry Weinberg, probably incorrectly. (SNOBOL became the name
of an esoteric string processing language in Bell Labs in the '70s.)

I would LOVE to know what those 429 lines of COBOL are doing !! ??

Why do they need to keep COBOL code in the distro any way? Wouldn't it be easier to convert those lines to another language?
