Supprisingly Cobol is indeed still used, I know this as I may well get
a job as a cobol programmer :) Infact I'll be finding out whether I
got the job this comming week :)

(Either that one or a different job doing Powerbase :)

Actually, the Cobol job's pretty good, as the IT manager is totally
anti-microsoft, I have a feeling we'll get on just fine :)

See ya :)
