A friend of mine wants to learn Cobol.  He is a good programmer
and could pick the language up from a book (he learned C from
K&R with a little bit of help from me).  Every book he hAf seen
so far starts off by explaining what a computer is ...
So the $64,000 question is:  Are there any Cobol texts that are
NOT written for programming novices?  Thanks a lot,
