I have added DDT to the Files section. This is a modification of the Catspaw SPITBOL debugger, for CSNOBOL4. To use it, -INCLUDE 'DDT' and where you want...
I have a version of DDT that uses unix/linux "tput" to do cursor positioning, and does full-screen. It's a hack, but may be useful (although this funcionality...
I have posted a SUDOKU puzzle solver in the files section. Feel free to clean it up -- it works, but is probably not the greatest example of SNOBOL4 code. I...

Greg My name is Fred Weigel. Greetings! The 2x comes from this observation - if a program does nothing but assign strings, the string will have to be either...

Greetings Fred. Yes, optimization of code and full garbage cleanup is not possible with the current compilers. For example, what if I use the code() function...
Exactly. I cannot conceive of how such a puzle: that is, one that requires backtracking, and that has only one solution, and is generated anew every day would...
With logical approaches, then a bent pseudo random generator might be used, but I dislike gambling and guessing, no matter how well done. Computers are great...

URL is the "universal resource locator". It's roughly analogous to a filename. The URL support just deals with that aspect, and not the protocol aspect. ...
Actually, I don't. But, in fact, we all die. It's a universal. And, indeed, we all see patterns. Another universal. Not everyone can do advanced math, though. ...
