[ Some days you eat the line ... some days the line eat's you ... ]

I just got an upgrade to the SNOBOL interpreter for my MS-DOS machine.

When I ordered it, I included a suggestion that they (Catspaw, Inc.)
do a port for the Amiga.  Well, it with the upgrade was a note from
that said they are indeed working on one already!

No availability, nor any specifics, but I thought I'd let all of you who
are interested in text and string processing know that such an animal is
on the way.

BTW, their implementation for the MS-DOS/PClone world is quite good, and
also reasonable (about $60, as I recall ... though that was a couple years
ago).  Their update was only $20.  I'd expect similar pricing from them
for the Amiga port.
