Re: [open-cobol-list] Change to compile listing.

[Brian Tiffin]

The listing is post preprocessor.  You get the COPY includes but lose sequence 
numbers, comments and perhaps other original source forms.  I'm pretty sure 
the someday soon -P change will be the same model of post preprocessor.  Umm, 
it might not be possible, with things as they are.

Cheers,
Brian
