Hi David
Hi Harold

        In 2006, Rildo Pragana correct a lot of bugs in the ACCEPT/DISPLAY 
verbs. He did the necessary changes, but didn't upload the sources to 
SourceForge CVS. I have this and other changes here and I will do the upload 
on next week, but, before this, I need verify with David when I can do this, 
considering that it also is changing the TC source code.
        In December/2006, more one brazilian developer was joined to the 
project. His name is Nilo Paim and he is a great guy. He work with COBOL 
since 1978 and C since 1984. He who will make upload for the CVS. Welcome 
Nilo and thanks for your help!
        David, I will write soon for you, OK?
        Bye!
