cobol, digitaria sanguinalis

In response to many inquiries, may we point out that the label, Digitaria sanguinalis, on the cover of the May Communications is the botanical name for crab grass, which according to Webster is a grass with creeping or decumbent stems which root freely at the nodes. It has been said that COBOL, like crab grass, is here to stay. | m.r. kellingtons, communications of the acm, letters to the editor, june 1962.

40 years later cobol got the label diet. tiny has the story. i give the credits to brian foote for: xml as diet cobol.

le potentiel cetis, 1969

parmi les travaux effectués en 1969 on peut notamment citer: ... - enfin, mise en service, couronnée de succès, d'un système facilitant la communication avec l'ordinateur; il s'agit en l'occurrence du langage-machine CARONTE qui permet d'utiliser une série de programmes, les données entre les différents programmes étant automatiquement transmises du précédent au suivant.
  • examen et acceptation des offres transmises pour le remplacement de l'ordinateur ibm-360

le vif intérêt que sucsitert partout le développement de systèmes d'information et l'elaboration, indispensable dans ce contexte, 'u "software" (codes de calcul) témoigne de la nécessité, non seulement de maintenir, mais aussi de s'efforcer dans tout la mesure du possible de promouvoir et d'élargir la potentiel CETIS. | centre de traitement de l'information scientifique du ccr-ispra, bac 000294

with caronte they didn't mean the spanish name for charon, the ferryman of hades, do they? would be kind of odd for a translation software.
