FYI since apparently there are several of you guys here..., I think I heard something not long ago about the GNUCobol looking to build up a catalog of properly free COBOL programming reference material, "to show people good code samples" etc.--since I guess the only such archive that's known so far is the SimoTime listing, and much of _that_ is "All Rights Reserved, look and learn but don't copy".... Any interest? And _thoughts_ about such an undertaking? -- Connect with me on the GNU social network! <https://status.hackerposse.com/rozzin> Not on the network?
