Hello,

Perhaps this remark should be posted elsewhere, if so please tell me 
where.

In chapter 1.5 of OpenCOBOL Programmers Guide.pdf is noted:

The following are special directives or characters that may be used in 
OpenCOBOL programs to signify various things.
“*” in column 7            Signifies the source line is a comment. This 
is valid only when in FIXED mode.

What is NOT yet mentioned is that the slash character ("/") in column 7 
in FIXED mode is also accepted as a special character to be skipped.
