By the way, the project I'm working on (just to practice my COBOL + DCL) is a little VMS-based conferencing / email system.

I'm trying to remember if DEC ever put out interesting applications that were written in Cobol.   I'm not sure.   I do remember a friend of mine who wrote an expression parser (RPN generator) in Cobol.   Or maybe RPG?   I'm not sure that's possible.

I do remember that the first release of VAX Notes was written in PL/I and started out as an exercise in learning PL/I for the author (Len Kawell).
