I received today the preliminary release of Bob Dewar's SPITBOL.  As
the Daddy of SNOBOL 0,1,2,3 and the Grand Dad of Snobol 4, it is a
very good job. (Spitbol is a compiler dialect of Snobol 4 and is
similiar to the Spitbol on the IBM 360 and the Univac 1100.

It works very well and will be a very valuable string processing
addition to the PCs language family.

It can be ordered from:

	Robert B.K. Dewar
	SPITBOL Orders
	73 5th Ave
	NY, NY 10003

It costs $195.

IBM/PC Macro SPITBOL is available from

   Robert B. K. Dewar
   SPITBOL Orders
   73 5th Avenue
   New York, NY  10003

for $195 (New York residents add 8.5% sales tax).

It's VERY good, but does have a few bugs.  It is certainly
faster than anything else I've used on the PC.
