Re: old COBOL program - how to add array sort
Hi Joel,
Thanks for posting. However, I'm trying to keep this mailing list
focused towards the FTPAPI and HTTPAPI open source projects.
Furthermore, I have no Cobol expertise, so I couldn't help if I wanted to.
Could please post it to a general-purpose or cobol-focused mailing list
instead?

Thanks!
