   For many years, the only source I had for COBOL-85 was the printed
"Draft Proposed Revised X3.23 American National Standard Programming
Language COBOL" of September 1981.

   It took about four years to get to the actual new standard of 1985.

   Is there any document available somewhere which gives an overview
and which lists the details of the changes between that draft and the
actual voted and agreed standard?

   In the 1985 standard, which I now have as PDF, I did not find such
an explanation.

Yours,
