I was familiar with SNOBOL3 when I studied in my college.
But I can not use SNOBOL now because my lab does not have it.
Only awk can be used for string processing in my environment.
Though awk has some good features for structured programming, e.g.
if( )...else ..., for-loop ... and pattern matching using regular
expression..., I think SNOBOL is better to extract matched substrings.
In awk programming, I somethimes have a trouble to extract matched
substring like:
data_string *substr1* delimiter1 *substr2* delimiter2 ....
If someone have SNOBOL interpreter which can run under 4.2bsd on Sun3,
and that if I can make use of it, please give me any information about it.

He's got Icon sources available for media costs. Here's where to go for more information: {allegra,ihnp4,noao}!arizona!icon-project or icon-project@arizona.edu postal address is Icon Project Department of Computer Science Gould-Simpson Building The University of Arizona Tuscon, AX 85721 USA It'll cost you $40 for a Unix cartridge (DC 300 XL/P, raw mode only, cpio or tar format), or $25 for a Unix tape (1600 or 6250 bpi, cpio or tar). Shipping is $10 per tape or cart package for airmail, which you would need. Full documentation is $29 (not the Icon book) plus $10 airmail shipping. Payment is in USA Dollars payable to University of Arizona. Domestic (usa/canada/mexico) orders don't need to pay any shipping. The Icon book is Griswold and Griswold, "The Icon Programming Language"; I don't have an ISBN number. A source for SNOBOL might be Catspaw, Inc., PO Box 1123, Salida CO 81021.
