The announcement can be of some interest to the "Pythonists" with Snobol4 background: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/announce/578925 (the archive...
... Hi, as an OS/2 and eComStation enthusiast and (new) SNOBOL user, somehow I feel urged to reply to this post. In fact the integrated Rexx hasn't got any...
Hi Robin: You wrote: ..... <quote> I ported CSNOBOL4 to OS/2 a while ago. Sadly I was too lazy to upload it to Hobbes (OS/2 software archive) but I'm using it...
... I cannot recall that porting CSNOBOL4 was difficult at all. OS/2 users and especially programmers are very creative when it comes keeping their system...
... Putting it here is a good idea, although I'd think you'd also want to (say) offer it to Phil for his Web site (since that site is indexed by Google and I'm...
BTW, sorry that version is a little hard to read (in the copy I received at least) apparently due to the tab keys etc. :-( But I presume that anybody here...
... Ok, I've uploaded a preliminary version of my port to this groups file space. It's preliminary because I think that some work is necessary to support some...
... I have tried running the first version in CSNOBOL, Minnesota SNOBOL4, and SNOBOL4+. Yes I do know Gordon wrote '... in SPITBOL', but I thought I'd give it...
... Wow! Someone actually using Snocone! I'm not sure I've come across that before! When I first became aware of Snocone years ago I thought I would try it...
Please ignore my earlier post about running Gordon's 99 bottles program: I know what the problem was. In SNOBOL4+ I made a simple typing error: I put "PLUSOPS ...
... Strange, it was the opposite with me. I don't think I would have tried out Snobol if I wouldn't have found Snocone in the first place. I actually prefer...
... There is Unicon (http://unicon.org), which adds quite a few features to Icon. There's an experimental version of the S4 pattern-matcher (it's quite fast,...
FWIW, I used Icon for a while and really like it for certain tasks (e.g. for combinatorial-type problems, it is probably unbeatable) but in the end analysis I...

... If I recall correctly, the main reason for switching from SNOBOL 5 was the ATT owned the SNOBOL name and Ralph had moved on to the U of Arizona. So it was...
On Fri, 17 Aug 2007 14:27:33 -0700 ... GOOD LORD!!! Why on EARTH would they want to implement it in Fortran IV, of ALL languages to use???!!! I'm amazed they...
On Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:14:15 -0700 ... I think it must have been at least something like 1974 or 1975... since I think SNOBOL4 itself came out in 1970 or 1971....
... S4 was written in 67-68, but any books on it came later. I had the green book in 72 (for a class from Ralph!), so it was out by Fall 72. Nevertheless,...
