ADVICE:
Where do find a COBOL Performance Tuning Guide
A Search390.com user asked Tom Ross, our programming expert:
Can you recommend a COBOL Performance Tuning Guide? I've read the one written by R. J. Arellanes but it seemed a little light and off-topic. Are you aware of any others? Also, is there a program product that can "audit" COBOL source code to point out potential performance issues and suggest alternatives? We've been running iStrobe to highlight the performance bottlenecks but I would like to get in front of the curve and advise the programmer before the code goes into production. Any
suggestions?

Company redefines whiz-bang technology
[The Register]
Intel didn't think of it. Neither did IBM or Microsoft. No, it took a company called Wizmark to hit the spot when it comes to the new No. 1 priority in technology. The company has created a high-tech urinal cake that can play commercial messages -- complete with sound, flashing lights and images. And unlike a Pentium chip or an Xbox, this piece of technology can withstand 10,000 flushes and leave the surrounding area smelling nice
and disinfected. The cake uses sensors to determine when a prospective listener sidles up to answer nature's call. Obviously, a medium for men and alternative to the ripped-out sports page plastered on the wall, the cakes will advertise Country Music Television's new Outlaws TV special. Pity the person who must change out the cakes when Spike TV buys some porcelain time.
