- comp.lang.cobol - Still alive (mostly) - Go to the Google groups version if you are newsgroup challenged.
- alt.cobol - By now a dead duck, however during the 90´s a better information resource on COBOL than the traditional comp.lang.cobol group, and since google has most posting of the group archived and searchable, it is a great information resource for those working with older COBOL tools.
