I was familiar with SNOBOL3 when I studied in my college.
But I can not use SNOBOL now because my lab does not have it.

Only awk can be used for string processing in my environment.
Though awk has some good features for structured programming, e.g.
if( )...else ..., for-loop ... and pattern matching using regular
expression..., I think SNOBOL is better to extract matched substrings.
In awk programming, I somethimes have a trouble to extract matched
substring like:
	data_string *substr1* delimiter1 *substr2* delimiter2 ....

If someone have SNOBOL interpreter which can run under 4.2bsd on Sun3,
and that if I can make use of it, please give me any information about it.
