It is a good one to get up and going on a bare-bone system. Don't know of anyone that uses it in industry though. Tim ------------------ Called by God. The passioned plea of a father.

Klumsy Administrator Posts: 1061 From: Port Angeles, WA, USA Registered: 10-25-2001	i've never programmed in forth, but i had a group member who when he was 14 programmed a forth compiler. I respected him for beign able to make a compiler like that, but never really caught the 4th bug. (i was into making 32bit operating system extenders in assembly for DOS) in those days. ------------------ Karl /GODCENTRIC Visionary Media the creative submitted to the divine.
