>Perhaps one or more of the IBM folks on the thread might like to comment? I have proposed removing support for OS/VS COBOL programs from LE, maybe in a future version of the operating system, whenever that might be. There are several reason for this: 1) Customers have requested it to force their applications to move forward 2) It makes LE leaner and faster 3) Fewer and fewer customer have any OS/VS COBOL programs around anymore I am working on making an announcement of a statement of direction for this, to give ample warning for those still using 1970's compilers :-) Cheers, TomR >> COBOL is the Language of the Future! << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
