I noticed Dave Farber's enthusiastic review of Dewar's Spitbol
(Snobol4 dialect).  We have just started using a version of Snobol4
written by Viktors Berstis that also seems to merit high marks.  It
has been very reliable and is quite complete (although it lacks LOAD
and the Spitbol extensions).  At $45 it is a very handy file
scanning utility.  It requires at least 128K and can support an
8087.

Does anyone have performance comparisons between the Dewar and
Berstis versions?  Are there other Snobol implementations?

We ordered it from   Snobol4
