SNOBOL4 (StriNg Oriented and symBOlic Language) is a language for text processing, pattern matching, and much more, first designed and implemented at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. (BTL) in the 1970's.
Information about my free Macro SNOBOL4 in C, A port of Macro SNOBOL4 (The original Bell Telephone Labs implementation, written in SIL macros) for machines with 32-bit (or larger) pointers. Supports full SNOBOL4 language plus SPITBOL and other extensions.
Mark Emmer's SNOBOL4/SPITBOL Page Includes sources for Snocone preprocessor, the Catspaw SPITBOL Product Spec Sheet/price list PDF file (includes reprints of Gimpel's classic "Orange Book"), SPITBOL Manual PDF file, Free 16-bit SNOBOL4+ for DOS.
Once upon a time SNOBOL4+ was Catspaw's flagship product, and the more limited Vanilla SNOBOL4 was the limited but free version of the product. SNOBOL4+ does not come with a manual, but Vanilla SNOBOL4 comes with excellent documentation.
HTML versions of the Vanilla SNOBOL4 Reference Manual and Vanilla SNOBOL4 Tutorial are available on-line. Michael Davis has created a document outlining Vanilla SNOBOL vs. SNOBOL4+ differences,
The following are historic implementations which are available on the Web:
The following are historic implementations which I have found, and plan to make available on the web, when I find the time!
The following are historic implementations which I would LOVE to find sources for:
The SNOBOL mailing list is being revived as the SNOBOL Yahoo! group.
SNOBOL4 has had a following in the humanities, including researchers in linguistics, classics and litterature;
