Classic programming

I have always felt that the language name is SNOBOL, with multiple versions, kind of like FORTRAN II (which is what the 1410 had), FORTRAN IV, FORTRAN V, etc., but Griswold seems to think otherwise. ;) R. E. Griswold, the abstract reads: "Development of the SNOBOL language began in 1962. It was followed by SNOBOL2, SNOBOL3, and SNOBOL4. Except for SNOBOL2 and SNOBOL3 (which were closely related), the others differ substantially and hence are more properly considered separate languages than versions of one language. In this paper historical emphasis is placed on the original language, SNOBOL, although important aspects of the subsequent languages are covered." A version of SNOBOL3 is available in the 6th Edition Unix distribution, which is available online. (/usr/bin/sno).
