I don't know, but have been led to believe that ICON, available from University of Arizona, is the successor to Snobol. Jim Haynes ...ucbvax!ucscc!haynes haynes@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu haynes@ucscc.bitnet

I am in favour of RISL (Reduced Instruction Set Languages) and so prefer SNOBOL4, which I use often for small, quick text-processing jobs (mailing labels, for example) even if I have both Catspaw SNOBOL4 and ICON on my pc.
