Ok.  I would like to have more implementors here to give support to the
others. I will do this for Andrew, but there are many thing I'm supposed
to do at (almost) the same time :)

If someone know how to do this, please take the job. If not, I have to
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
read again the syntax of cobol (standards, some manufacturers manuals,..)
and try to make the changes needed so Andrew can continue with his work.
If nobody accepts the job, I'll do it. Please wait some time.

regards,
Rildo

P.S. - Please don't write to me, write to the list, as sometimes others
can be helpful. That's what the list is about: to share
our experiences :)
