I don't know.  Anyway, as David Essex (our last developer still active, 
except for myself) is semi-officially leaving TC's development, we don't 
expect many new releases in the near future. So, my "unofficial" (?) 
releases will be the only new developments... And I only plan to 
continue as long as I continue to receive support from my current 
sponsors (two brazilian companies). As you should know, I'm not a cobol 
programmer (I only developed this compiler!), then my interests with 
cobol are somewhat limited. I only keep giving support because this 
project is my brainchild since a long time ago (about 1990/91).

As time allows, I will continue to support it, fixing bugs, and 
introducing new features as requested by my sponsors. Of course, when a 
find a serious bug like that noticed by Mr. Ravi, I'll try to fix 
because it affects everyone who use, or plan to use TC.  If you have 
something that you would like to see implemented in TC, please let me 
know. I'm working too in a tcl/tk interface for doing GUIs (graphical 
user interfaces), and make TC to have better debugging tools, both for 
developers and end users. My CVS release have some of these, besides 
several other patches to TC (for instance, the ACCEPT verb is fully 
implemented, in a way similar to Microfocus(TM) cobol), fixes for 
refmods, and so on.

If someone would like to contribute applying back my patches, please 
tell me. I can retrieve the full cvs repository from SourceForge (which 
I've done to merge my code with a pre-0.63 release), but I'm not able to 
submit back to SF's cvs server.

best regards,
Rildo
