All, Bitsavers has has newly arrived Snobol documentation http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/burroughs/B5000_5500_5700/listing/B5700_Snobol_Compiler_Apr77.pdf ...
Interesting that they did a SNOBOL *3* that late...! Anybody know why? Or was this an old implementation just being updated somehow, and there not being a...
... Along about 1967-68, I was trying to do an implementation of 4 for the machine from the Macro implementation. Burroughs did not have an assembler at all....
... The Compiler file says it's for an implementation of SNOBOL3. An item on my TODO list is to make the files I have for a port of Macro SNOBOL4 to the B6700...
... Hi All: Interesting. When I had an MA student do the implementation of SIL SNOBOL4 for the B6700 at Queen's University here in the mid 1970's, I had no...
Hi: I haven't been involved with the Snobol community for years (Sorry to see that Professor Griswold passed away) but I have a project that I would like to...
Important changes for the Windows package ("batteries included") * fileutil library updated to 1.13.5 (i hope it solved the problems with temporary file names...
alas, the 0.28 wasn't functioning properly under WinXP (I could test it only on Linux and under Vista). (I hope) version 0.29 fixes the pathname problems under...
In order to make it easier to control the amount of spam I receive I have several email addresses which I use for separate types of email. I have one email...
Remember that most subscribers to the group do not have access to the e-mail addresses in the member list.... the only way they see those e-mail addresses, I...
... Thanks a lot. Most of my students use Windows, and they noticed the problem you mention: at the first run it was all right, but since the 2nd run of the...
... Yes. Obviously any method of trying to hide addresses from automatic email address harvesting will become ineffective once it is sufficiently widely used,...
I'm experimenting right now with "brand new" look and feel for TkS*LIDE I'd like to hear from SLIDE users if they find new icons better or worse... The...
... Sorry for answering late! Better for me, because I am itnerested in the effects on students -- and the new icons look more similar to the icons used by...
As for me, I'm still using an ancient (1985 executable!) copy of Digital Research EDIX as my main source editor. That's NOT because I wouldn't like to have...
Emacs. [Well... *somebody* had to say it.] I haven't tried to make a SNOBOL mode but I'm sure it could be done. It does fail one criterion, though... ... ...
The other editor I thought was going to be "it" was also something of a DIY kit... but it turns out that it's trickier than it looks to handle (for example) ...
Editors... The ones on my netbook RIGHT NOW - vim VI, with the "enhancements" you requested. Includes a "SNOBOL" mode. Not bad, a bit large. I do mostly UNIX...
I'm working on a binding for my SPITBOL Pattern Matching in C for Python, and I'm looking for folks who can offer opinions on some interface issues, and might...
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/spipat/0.9.3 It builds and runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. I haven't tried it on Windows. The C library has never been...
... I managed to make a binary distribution of spipat for Windows using MINGW (a port of GCC to bare Win32), and Python 2.6 from python.org: The Python...
... [example code snipped] Wow, great work, Phil. I'm not the greatest Python fan (I must admit I liked the Monty Pythons Show ;-) ) -- using it only when I...
