In the balance, I'd lean towards COBOL over VB6 just for the novelty value.

Not to mention the increased efficiency!

Well, I do like a challenge (and I know the way to Griff's heart)! :-D

Would that be the sheep, or the chocolate? ;)

The computer center expert that 'owned' the sacred COBOL manual could not identify one thing wrong with my code. That was my first and last attempt to use it, and I've never missed it. X|

For five years I was a fully paid up COBOL CODE MONKEY, it took me ages to stop using capitals.

Very likely true, Steve. A very picky language, COBOL is!
