Hi All,
I know this list is not really the place for this, but I would like to know
if there is any real interest in developing this project.
I would be interested in developing a free(GPL) COBOL compiler.
Are there any individuals/companies/organizations interested in this project ?
Are there any individuals/companies/organizations interested in donating
source code for this project ? For example a COBOL parser(wishful thinking
I think).
Here is a brief outline:
- A front end compiler based on GCC(EGCS ?). Something like the GNU Pascal.
- COBOL-85 ISO/ANSI standard. No Object COBOL.
Any comments and/or suggestions would be appreciated. NO RANTS Please.
David
