Re: [open-cobol-list] cobol.el for emacs - for OpenCOBOL

It's a long thread, but that one posted is different that the one you linked 
to.  I have no idea if it's better or worse, as I'm a vimmer so all my time 
and attention goes towards the cobol.vim file modified for OpenCOBOL.

(And maybe it's time to check into more emacs'en.  Work on libguile embedding 
progresses, so OpenCOBOLers will have access to lispy scripting sooner or 
later).
 
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Brian
