Saw a note on the GCC list that I thought some here might find interesting: it announces the existence (not quite done but getting there) of a COBOL language front end for GCC. Interesting. For those who deal in legacy COBOL applications that want a more modern platform, I wonder if this might be a good way to get there. Run old COBOL dusty decks on Linux, yeah...
We already have GnuCOBOL which works just fine (most of the time).
I wonder if I can make build that front end with the pdp11 back-end. :-)
I wasn't aware it was still possible to build the PDP-11 back-end. I thought support for that was dropped ages ago. bill
