Cipriani) Newsgroups: comp.lang.misc Subject: Cobol text recommendation needed Message-ID: <12700@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu> Date: 7 May 88 17:44:20 GMT Organization: Ohio State Computer & Info Science Lines: 6 Keywords: cobol 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,
