Description : SPITBOL is an extremely high performance implementation of the SNOBOL4 language
With the SNOBOL4 language, you can manipulate text and search for patterns
in a simple and natural manner. SNOBOL4 is a completely general
programming language, and its magic extends far beyond the world of
text processing. Concise and powerful programs are easy to write. In
addition, SNOBOL4's pattern programming provides a new way to work
with computers.
For information about differences between SNOBOL4, SNOBOL4+, and
Spitbol (and differences between various Spitbol implementations)
please refer to the Macro SPITBOL manual.
The original manual:

This classic powerful text processing language belongs in Debian.
I do not intend to maintain it. I might be able to provide some limited
assistance.
