OpenCOBOL

Open Cobol is like most other Cobol compilers, in terms of standards 
anyway. I think Open Cobol adheres to most ANSI85 standards, so using 
other Cobol references should be sufficient. Most Cobol compilers all 
have there own extensions, which I try to stay away from.

A great place for online COBOL is

http://www.csis.ul.ie/cobol/Course/

Many of the examples compile right out of the OpenCOBOL box.

But, with the new Programmer's Guide I'd like to see about buidling up and 
offering a wikiversity or Moodle course.  Would that be a worthwhile thing 
(or simply a make work project that would see lilttle real world use)?

Cheers,
Brian
