For the COBOL users out there, James K. Lowden has posted
an update on the current status of the GNU COBOL compiler.

When in November we turn back our clocks, then naturally do
programmers’ thoughts turn to Cobol, its promise, and future.

At last post, nine months ago, we were working our way through the
NIST CCVS/85 test suite. I am pleased to report that process is
complete. As far as NIST is concerned, gcobol is a Cobol compiler.
