  12. Kazimir said
  13.  
  14. "properties. I understand that some people who came from a COBOL background are
  15. resistant to a language which calls for a character set of 96 symbols, and for
  16. this reason is surely conducive to errors."
  17.  
  18. Please don't repeat junk stuff that you "understand" from someone else. You
  19. clearly know nothing about COBOL -- try to talk only about what you know
  20. about!
