I want to thank the people who responded to my original request.  Several
people sent very useful URLs.

http://www.csis.ul.ie/cobol/default.htm

Someone suggested http://www.cobol.org/  This site not available.

Links that are buried several levels deep in a website don't do any good.
If there is any genuinely useful information about COBOL at the 3kworld.com
site please include the actual URL rather than a vague reference to a
website that doesn't do anybody any good and wastes people's time.
