News Groups

Consult the Usenet news groups comp.lang.cobol and alt.cobol.

Before posting to these or any other news groups, please read the relevant FAQ. You may find an answer there without annoying anyone. Also read the group for a week or two before posting, so that you can soak up the local culture and determine whether your posting is appropriate for that group.

Web Sites

At this writing, there isn't much COBOL-related material out there on the Web, apart from a few vendors promoting their wares. At least I haven't found much -- compared to the material available for other languages like C and Java.

Rather than listing a series of URLs, let me just point you to a site devoted to COBOL links:

David Haertzen maintains this site for the benefit of the COBOL community. Thanks, David! If you find any other good COBOL sites, please pass them on to him.

Links to Me

Besides the site mentioned above, the following sites have linked to my pages. Not all of them are Cobol sites specifically, but presumably some of the people interested in those pages would be interested in mine, and vice versa -- at least in the judgement of the people maintaining those sites.

This list is in no particular order. I don't intend or expect that it is complete.

The Flexus Cobol Page -- from a vendor of PC-based COBOL tools. This site features a sizable collection of COBOL-related links:
