Hi Phil, I checked out your SNOBOL4 page and I just wanted to note for your list of historical platforms that SNOBOL4 and SPITBOL were also implemented on the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) on S/360 ... this is actually the incarnation I've been playing with recently ... along with numerous other languages, it's just baked right into the D6.0 distribution tapes so it's easy to get started right after a fresh installation ... I've found MTS is a great platform to play around with a lot of these older languages on Hercules... it's my favorite S/360 operating system by far.
