Nice to know you remember the good old days of Assembler and Adv. COBOL at UWF. And most people persevered & passed……lol The book was Advanced ANS COBOL by Brown. If you really want one, you can find it on eBay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Advanced-ANS-COBOL-Structured-Programming-Brown-/160608587303 But I am more of a VB and SQL Server person (barely) these days, but still in the College of Business
Best,

Hi Richie, great to hear from you! I hope all is well. I’ve turned into a C# kind of person. (I taught VB part time back in the late 90s at a technical community college in NC. Had lots of fun.) Finally found my way back to Florida, but just a bit farther south – Pensacola gets a little too cold in the winter.
Take care,
Jim
