Can someone help me benchmark a Snobol on an IBM PC (or preferably, AT)?
I have some routines I've written in Ada that do Snobol pattern matching,
and I want to compare them for speed against a real Snobol.  I already have
a copy of MACRO SPITBOL, I'm looking for Minnesota or Catspaw or any other
that's available.  (VAX and Apollo users with Snobol:  I need timings there
too!)

If you have access to a SNOBOL please contact me!  The test is about 50 lines
of SNOBOL, 50 lines of data, and should take 4-10 minutes to run.  THANKS!
