     Is there any implementation of SNOBOL for VAX/VMS? If so, from
     where can I get it, price, performance?

I seem to remember a SNOBOL processor for the VAX in one of DIGITAL's books
on available software, but I don't remember any of the details.

However, I was wondering if you have considered using VAX/TPU?  From what I
can remember of SNOBOL, TPU seems to give you all of the same constructs in
a much more structured language that, undoubtably, will run faster.
