Hi COBOL students,

    Quite a bit of material has been added to the web page.  See the URL
    http://www.cns.uni.edu/~jacobson and follow the summer 1999 classes
                                                    -----------
    hypertext link to get to the COBOL homepage.

    I will explain the Unix command for getting a nice printout of your
    program results on Tuesday in class.  The command is:

                        cat prog01.lst prog01.rpt | enscript 2r d lj3sib 

    The above command assumes you compiled a file prog01.cob,
           using 
                     cobol prog01.cob        <--- creating prog01.lst 
           and then ran prog01.run                    and prog01.run
           using 
                     runcbl prog01.run       <--- creating prog01.rpt
                                                   SELECT REPORT-FILE
                                                       ASSIGN TO "prog01.rpt"
    The .lst file (compiler listing) and
    the .rpt file (report file) are then
    printed by using the cat and the enscript commands.

    cat is short for concatenate and concatenates the two files together
    into one file or file stream.  The | symbol is a pipe so that the 
    output of the cat command can be piped to the enscript command (instead
    of going to the screen).  The enscript command accepts the cat output
    and sends its output to the Wright Hall chaos printer, lj3sib.

    To see what printers are available at Wright, type 
                                                       printers
                                  at the chaos prompt.
