NAME
     snobol4op - SNOBOL4 operators

DESCRIPTION
     All SNOBOL4 operators can be redefined with OPSYN().  These are the default
     assignments.

     The  following  operator  character sequences are permitted and represent a
     cross between PDP-10 Macro SNOBOL4, SITBOL and Catspaw SPITBOL usage:

   Binary Operators
     List  of  Binary  Operators,  in  decreasing  order  of  precedence.   When
     operators	of equal precedence are adjacent, associativity determines order
     of evaluation.

     SPITBOL and BLOCKS extensions control operator definitions  are  orthogonal
     and can be controlled separately.

     = _       assignment	   RIGHT     w/ SPITBOL
     ?	       pattern match	   LEFT      w/ SPITBOL
     &	       definable	   LEFT
     |	       alternation	   LEFT
