Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Friday Fun: hcd charts to htm via b2h issue

By the way, as a frequent (almost daily) user of B2H in Production, I wonder: What is the copyright status of B2H? I think it's abandonware and would like to treat it as open source. In short, I'd join any effort to maintain B2H. Thoughts? Martin Sent from my iPad > On 2 Aug 2017, at 16:44, D

Re: Any IBM announcements on Cobol v4.2 EOS

Note: If there is no EOS/EOM/EOL for that version of the product, then IBM has not determined a date. So you are probably good for a long time yet. I do not think they would do anything less than 1 year out when determining not to support a product - which is the first step to its life ending.
