I programmed in Snobol for a VAX, though I don't recall if it was
VMS or Ultrix... This was 15 or so years ago in school... Still
have the book for it too :)

One of the sad things about this is that somewhat 'obscure'

Myself, I would dearly love to have all the languages available
for my VAX, including APL, LISP, and (yes) Snobol. (I'm not sure DEC ever
did a Snobol for VMS, though, I think it just ran on TOPS-10).

I asked about PL/I not being included in the
Hobbyist licensing program and
was told that was because Compaq no longer owns PL/I. I guess APL isn't in
the Hobbyist license set as that hasn't been a deliverable for a long time.
Does anyone know when it was last included in the ConDist sets? If so I
can look for it. I have several year's worth of ConDist CDs but have lost
the paperwork that listed the included products.
The first disk of every ConDist has the all paperwork on it as postscript
and text files. You can print it out again if you lose it :-) I believe
the '94 and '96 ConDists both have APL on them.
