But how could you possibly tell that it was generated by Cobol or by
any other language - the HTML being in all upper cae ?

I don't need to tell if the code was generated by COBOL or not :). (I
also just realized that that was a joke.) I was just thinking that
there was probably a COBOL Web application back end floating around in
the world somewhere and I wondered if I could find one, that's all?

wg

www.ibuydenman.com is one. I'm using Envyr (ex-Data General) Interactive Cobol
on the backend.
