CSNOBOL4 is a free port of the original SIL (SNOBOL4 Implementation
Language) macro version of SNOBOL4 (developed at Bell Labs) with the C
language as its target. Includes SPITBOL and BLOCKS extensions.
SNOBOL4 is a living fossil; a dynamically typed, garbage collected
interpreter with a first-class pattern type (patterns can be composed
from other patterns), and user defined data types (structs) from the
1960's.
The language syntax is exceedingly simple, and statements consist of
three optional parts: a label, an expression, and an unconditional or
conditional branch labels.
Pattern match (and replace) is a built in operator. Built-in
functions include predicates for comparison, pattern creation and
string modification. allow the compilation of code at run time, and
the creation of new "user data types" (structures). Built-in types
include string, integer, float, multi-dimension arrays, (hash) tables,
pattern, and code. Loadable modules can create new opaque types.
CSNOBOL4 includes extensions to access base64, bit operations,
cryptographic hashes, dbm, directories, ffi, fork, pipes,
pseudo-terminals, random, readline, sprintf, sqlite3, stat, tcl, and
TLS, documented in manual pages created using embedded POD-like
"snopea" markup.
===> The following configuration options are available for snobol4-2.3.1_3:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
FFI=on: Foreign Function Interface module
SQLITE3=on: SQLite version 3 module
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus minor
COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. A few Makefiles where not
included as they contain Latin-1 characters that break the Phabricator
workflow. Categories J-L.
