# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| gnu-cobol: gnu-cobol (open source COBOL compiler) gnu-cobol: gnu-cobol: GNU Cobol is an open source COBOL compiler. GNU Cobol implements a gnu-cobol: substantial part of the COBOL 85 and COBOL 2002 standards, as well as gnu-cobol: many extensions of the existent COBOL compilers.
