As a snobol(*) enthusiast, I can't help asking (21 years after the
fact), whether the soma solver survives?

(*) I did a port of the original Macro SNOBOL4 to C
[http://www.regressive.org/snobol/csnobol4/], and since I learned on
SNOBOL4, SNOBOL3 has always seemed like alien technology, and I'd
love to see an actual program!
