I'm a collector/maintainer of all things SNOBOL (www.snobol4.org), and
was wondering if the original SNOBOL3 for the 7090 (submitted to
SHARE) existed anywhere out there. I didn't find that; there is a
collection of SHARE tapes (from YALE), but no information on what
they contain....
BUT.... A pleasant surprise was finding a kit for booting CTSS (one of
the mothers of all time sharing)!

Hi,
So far it hasn?t turned up in the Manchester University Medical Computing Unit 7090
collection at TNMoC. It?s not mentioned in correspondence, and I don?t see any job decks
for it. However, if it shows up in the tape contents, I?ll drop you a note. I know the
CHM diaspora have uncatalogued goodies as well, so ping the list every couple of months.
You may someday strike it lucky.

I still have my SNOBOL book from college.

Oooooh. CTSS! That'd be neat to run.
