I've write a lot of Python code over the past 15 years. I only made one attempt at a COBOL program. It was using punch cards and a card-reader connected to a remote mainframe via a 2400 baud link. That was not fun. I'm not sure what your point is, though. COBOL may be an ugly, icky, language, but you must admit it is _practical_. It can be used to get real work done. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Where does it go when at you flush? gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
