I wonder if they have a bunch of COBOL programmers?? .......' <<

Jon Said;   I doubt it - COBOL programmers are _very_ valuable right now - 
contract rates are skyrocketing - it's all those "obsolete" COBOL systems 
that need to be changed for Y2K so they can continue to do trivial things 
like run the airlines, insurance companies, banks, government - nothing 
important <vbg>

You know we tried to show the MVS crowd what a good language was,
but RPG/370 didn't catch on.
