Write your guess on the back of a $100 bill and send it to me

We have resolved one of the difficult issues with BASIC MAP statements
and can actually pass a significant number of tests.  However, we still have
a few more things to track down before I would say it is useful.  

We're actually trying to refresh other compilers this month as well.  Too 
many things to keep track off including a fresh set of COBOL issues 
and working on the debugger & DWARF generation.
