I recently acquired a position that uses that much "used" language called Cobol. I also have a 128 and have been looking around to see what was avail- able in the Cobol - 128 arena. What I found was Cobol 128 by Abacus, and a User Group called Nevada Cobol (I found this in a book that was written in 1982). When I wrote to the Nevada Cobol group I got my letter back unopened with "no such person" written on the address. Does anyone know what happened to the group? Are they still viable, or has the group been disbanded? Thanks in advance, Tom I claim to have been disclaimed.

They had products such as Nevada Cobol, Nevada Fortran, Nevada Prolog, and some others, mostly for CP/M systems. This, of course, was a few years ago, back in the hay-day of CP/M before MSDOS. I can't remember off hand where they were located, maybe someone else on the net will. I think I still have some of their information at home. I'm not sure if they even still exist, if they were bought out, or what. If no one is able to reveal what has happened to them, let me know and I'll look into it when I'm at home. I may find that the address I have is the same as the user's group address you found. -- Scott /########################################################################\ | Scott A.
