Had to laugh at IBM saying "We're giving away COBOL training to help with 
this!" - right, just what we need, newbie COBOL programmers fixing 
mission-critical systems. Plus I can't imagine that this doesn't require use of 
tricky stuff like ISPF and JCL. A very weak attempt to jump on the bandwagon, 
I'm afraid.
