	We are an official GNU Project.  When I first got into this 2 summers
ago, I wrote to GNU asking if there was a Cobol project already in the works.
I got mail back from Joe Hartmann <joeh@sugar-river.net>, an FSF volunteer
coordinator, who put me in touch with Ed Petron <epetron@leba.net> who was 
working on the PCCTS version that we started with.
	It's been so long since I've talked to GNU and I don't know what Ed
has done, so they may not know that we're still a viable project.  I will mail
Ed and see what's going on.  If I can't reach him, you or I can mail GNU and
find out what's going on there.

	I swear I'll get some documents out to everyone tonight (re: math,
file stuff, web/documentation).
