The (free) DOS/UNIX/VMS port of the SIL implementation of SNOBOL4, by Budne,
does indeed have a C interface.  The current release supports dynamic loading
only on BSD+a.out systems, but static linking with C code is supported on all
systems.

SNOBOL4 of course considerably predates C. The SNOBOL4 "green book"
does, however, describe how to load and call Fortran.
