Subject: [TUHS] Re: History of "sno" Snobol interpreter (V4, Sys V?)
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 00:11:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9c44615d537f0b04b27b457bc1d38c82@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
Shoppa wondered,
Can anyone comment about the history of the "sno" Snobol
interpreter that seems to exist in V4 (man page in the
archives gives 2/7/93 as the date) and some later
Unix versions (Sys V, V6, etc.)? In the TUHS archives
we have the V6 sources but they are remarkably comment-
free.
Was "sno" ever part of the build chain of any interesting
utilities etc?
Not that I know of; I think writing it was just a quick entertainment
for Ken. The "application" that has survived is a
1-page program that solves the Soma (or Instant Insanity)
puzzle.
