# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

gnu-cobol: substantial part of the COBOL 85 and COBOL 2002 standards, as well as
gnu-cobol: many extensions of the existent COBOL compilers.  GNU Cobol translates
gnu-cobol: COBOL into C and compiles the translated code using the native C
