[GNU-COBOL] Re: GNU Cobol Status Request

	Jim - Hi, I'm writing back in lieu of Laura, as she's in the process 
of moving and will be away from e-mail for a few days.  The project is still
active, albeit in a somewhat stalled state for a few weeks while the project
leads go through the fun of graduating from college and moving to full-time 
jobs.  The project has been given official space on gnu.org, and the most 
recent version of the web page can be found at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/cobol ...   The mailing list is also still active
at gnu-cobol@acm.cs.umr.edu .  Laura has been handling most of the relations 
with people at GNU, so I'm sure she can fill you in further when she gets her
e-mail access back (sometime toward the beginning of June, if not sooner.)  
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

						JF - GNU Cobol Webmaster
