Quines - first(?)ones in Cobol & PL/I

A while ago I posted a message to the mvshelp boards, see
<http://www.greenhousecafe.com/cgi-b...=003
181>
on this subject, noting that Gary Thompson's Quine page
<http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm> doesn't have quines in either
Cobol or PL/I. A bit later I added my own smallest(?) possible PL/I
quine, which was developed after an original Pascal one. Then
yesterday a Peter Brown added another first, a quine in Cobol! It's in
the same URL. Look and enjoy (and FWIW, see if you can reduce its
size)

Help this poor old ex Limey :-) . Didn't have any success  - can you
give the exact page pointing  at the COIBOL source program ?

The above "greenhousecafe" link works for me! You might want to
try <http://www.mvshelp.com/>  and click on the "Help Boards"
link on the left. The quine is in the "Programming Languages"
forum. FWIW, there is now a second Cobol Quine. which is quite
a bit shorter than the first one!

HTH,

Robert
