What extensions do more recent versions have? I'm trying to select a Forth for Color Computer, have about 3 choices at widely varying prices. I don't expect (but will take!) advice on my particular machine, but since all vendors describe their product in terms of the above generations, I can use the general info. I've bougth & started Brodie's "Starting Forth", so feel free to reference that (and, what generation is THAT Forth?) T.I.A., mike k
