This image contains the files extracted from the SNOBOL.PA archive
on the snobol_source.tu56 DECtape image.  See .WU files for instructions.
This SNOBOL is a subset of the SNOBOL 3 language.  Files with a date
are the original files from the DECtape.

The snobol compile was built as follows:
.PAL RKA1:SNORTS.BN,RKA1:SNOP51.LS<RKA1:SNOP51.PA
.PAL RKA1:SNOBOL.BN,RKA1:SNO94.LS<RKA1:SNO94.PA
.LOAD RKA1:SNOBOL
.SAVE RKA1:SNOBOL
(If the save doesn't work try another version of OS/8.  One I was using
work work fine with load/g but the saved file didn't always work)

The runoff .RO files were run through runoff to generate the formated output
.WU files.

The SNOBOL.WU has instuctions on compiling snobol source files.  The
3 files on the tape were build into .SV files as follows

.RUN RXA1:SNOBOL
*RKA1:SNOLST.PA<RKA1:SNOLST.SN
 Following will write SNOLST.BN to system device
.PAL RKA1:SNORTS.PR-NB,SNOLST
.LOAD RKA1:SNORTS,DSK:SNOLST
.SAVE RKA1:SNOLST

repeated for other .SN files.

The snobol prorgrams don't seem to accept device names in front of the
file name.  The files must be on DSK:.
