WOW, fellas, Thank You for your intelligent input....You guys are BETTER than
support. (Didn't mean to open the can of worms)

Thank You Again

I can't believe they are still using Cobol ! That's been around since 40's
50's ?

COBOL.NET results from an effort to bring those old
COBOL programs into the .NET environment. It's probably
cheaper to do that than to resurrect all those old retired (and
increasingly departed) programmers from the 50s. Do a google
search on COBOL.NET, and you'll get lots of hits. Here is
just one:

I'm not sure what this has to do with the .net framework, but COBOL
doesn't go back to the 1940s, and just barely to the 1950s. COBOL was
created in 1959. I personally started programming in 1962, and started
using COBOL in 1966.

It's FORTRAN that goes back to the early 50's I think.

The first Fortran compiler was delivered in 1957. See
