I'd like to study what has been done so far and what should be
done from now before actually starting out.  Could you send me
a list of unimplemented features (ToDo) if you have it?

I've been a C programmer on GNU/Linux for five years.  I'd like to
run some COBOL programs on GNU/Linux and am studying COBOL right now.
Although I don't know much about lex/yacc/gcc internals, I'm going
to study them soon.
