Scope and Content

Report by Paul Layzell and John Triance, (Dept of Computation, UMIST) for the COBOL Language Enhancement Facility Project (CLEF). The project run under the auspices of the British Computer Society had the objective of developing a tool for more flexible use of COBOL languages. The volume is a compendium of papers relating to this project.
