- All this rhetorical meanderings have tickled me pink..
-
- Try making/using/creating an RMS Indexed file in VMS C,
- vs VMS Cobol.... Then again, I have never seen anything
- C could do that Cobol couldn't. Not to mention a C programmer
- that could do it as fast as I could, regardless of verbosity.
- I find it amusing that people site verbosity as a problem
- /annoyance with Cobol. I dont think I have ever typed
- in a Cobol program from scratch or intend to. Just use
- them for their strengths and these silly thoughts might
- fade away...
