Wanted: A SNOBOL compiler that runs under Berkeley UNIX. Preferably a "public domain" compiler. Thanks for any help.

Below are the condensed versions of the replies I have gotten to my request. I hope they are of use. Thanks to all those that answered my request... From: research!grigg!ark@topaz.arpa Re: SNOBOL4 under Unix Dewar Information Systems Corp 9901 Derby Lane Westchester IL 60153 (312) 344-1025 ------------------------- From: oddjob!matt@lbl-csam (Matt Crawford) Your friend should check out the successor to SNOBOL, caled ICON. It comes from the same people (Ralph Griswold, et al.) and is very cheap. (~$50) Versions exist for Vax or Sun under 4.2, PDP-11 under 2.9, and VMS. Contact: icon-project@arizona.csnet or write back for postal address. ------------------------------ From: phr@BERKELEY (Paul Rubin) 1. Look at the interview with Griswold in Byte this month (July) 2. I think Dewar's company (forgot the name) sells a VAX SPITBOL. ------------------------- From: packard!alberta!myriasb!cmt@topaz.arpa (Chris Thomson) I suspect that what you really want is Macro Spitbol. It is available at a modest price (less than $1000) from Dewar Information Systems Corporation (DISC). They are in Oak Park, Illinois. ----------------------- From: packard!ihnp4!tektronix!sequent!merlyn@topaz.arpa I don't know of one, but the person who invented Snobol is on the net. See Ralph Griswold at <ralph@arizona.CSNET> or ucbvax!arizona!ralph. He also invented "Icon", which is his latest toy. See the bsd tapes for a freebie implementation, or ask him for one of his.
