I also agree with including the comment lines for a listing.
I did have all source code listed in cobxref but the code to process the copy 
statements was removed when I switched to using the input produced by cobc.

A simple solution would be for cobc to have a switch to output the full source 
to a file that can be printed. If Roger does not do that for v2 I will 
reinstall the code that processed the original source but I will have to add 
some stuff to deal with copy replacing which I did not bother with on that 
specific version.

I will look at it in the next month or so to pass to the print file all source 
prior to compressing (removing all instances of more than one space) the code 
before the xref process starts, so hopefully that will resolve your issues 
with cobc. However I do need to look again at the code base to try and clear 
out some of the bugs in cobxref.
