I'm moving kinda slow right now.  I graduate Dec. 18, so things are
kindof on hold until after that.

I know COBOL.  My (new!!) job will be working with COBOL.  I'm pretty
good with C, and learning more as time permits.  I picked up the
lex/yacc book from O'Reilly, but haven't really had much time to go
through it.  Although, the SQL preprocessor in one of the chapters looks
interesting.

Pretty much that's where I'm at.  I just really didn't want to start
from scratch and redo stuff that's already been done, and probably do it
worse anyhow. ;)  The gnu-cobol home page doesn't really have any links
to source code on it, except for the Cobol2C stuff (which I assume has
been finished and discontinued?).  I'm not in a rush, really, but wanted
some sort of direction to move in...
