[vcf-midatlantic] COBOL research

[John Ruschmeyer]

List lurker here...

I learned COBOL as part of the CS curriculum at Monmouth College (now, 
University) back in the early '80s. It was one of several required 
language courses including FORTRAN (intro language at the time), COBOL, 
PL/I (PL/C, actually), and IBM 370 Assembler. At the time, we were 
still card-based, batch processed to a 370 at Rutgers via the NJ 
Educational Computer Network (ECN).
