Hi Derek. Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. I meant C's
conditional assignments of the form 7.13 of K&R:


conditional expression: expression ? expression : expression


I've never seen a way to implement this in one line of SNOBOL and if someone
did come up with a way I don't think it would be very obvious to anyone
reading it! I wonder if a pattern would work...


(goes off mumbling about bringing up an MVS system to try something in
SNOBOL4)
