UNSW doesn't have much cobol in their compsci course. Information systems
at UNSW does, but they're in the Commerce faculty, not Computer Science
and Engineering.

Macquarie has a little second year subject that uses cobol.

I have no idea about other universities. Don't forget that compsci at
UTS is an applied science degree so the emphasis is on industry more
than at other universities.

The CMU (the unit that employs Tom and I) are offering a C++ elective
next year. Happier?

WRT C why not learn it the same way everyone else does. Read the book,
read the net and hack code.
