Re: [open-cobol-list] #OpenCobol on Freenode

[boscagarda-programming]

Hi Alain.

Freenode is also a website. http://freenode.net which among other things provides IRC (internet relay chat) specifically geared at software projects with a great emphasis on free software. Like the Open Cobol project. (Now its ##Cobol over there for those that use IRC).

Actually I am on Ubuntu GNU/Linux not windows. I only rarely use MS windows anymore and then only at work.

Definitely right about not knowing cobol. It has been 20 years since I worked programming in Cobol. Back then only PC Realia cobol. But my interest is very keen and the open cobol project has me very excited. Going through tutorials online and testing with Open Cobol on ubuntu is definitely refreshing my memory. I have received a lot of great advice so far from the list here.

Thanks kindly and best regards,
Joseph James Frantz
