GNU Cobol FAQ
GNU Cobol FAQ | Status This is a 2.1 work in progress release of the GNU Cobol FAQ. Sourced at gcfaqrrst. Courtesty of ReStructuredText, Sphinx and Pygments. GNU Cobol 2.1 is not currently rolled out, but is available for testing. GNUCobolFAQppdf is also available, but broken, as a work in progress, with no work done yet, using Texlive and Sphinx. This FAQ is more than a FAQ and less than a FAQ. Someday that will change and this document will be split into a GNU Cobol manual and a simplified Frequently Asked Questions file.
