Yikes!  I was writing SNOBOL code back in 1964 at Holmdel, before I was an economist and even before I was a traffic 
engineer.  I was one of your pioneer users, and all of 25 yrs old, working for Erna Hoover.  This sure brings back 
memories.

For those us fossils still using SPITBOL (or SNOBOL4) in production
environments, it's fun to see the youngsters discovering it for the first
time.
