I am a graduate student at UC Berkeley majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I have programmed in FORTH, and it is one of my favorite languages. Here are the questions: 1. What are your comments on the 'Forth Dimensions,' which are published by the Forth Interest Group? Is is worth the fifteen dollars for a year of scbscription? Is it too technical or too easy? Should I purchase the back- issues? 2. Have you attended the FIG's meetings that are held at Chabot college at Hayward, California? If you did, how do you like it? 3. I read and enjoyed the book 'Starting Forth,' but now I am ready for more serious stuff. Can you give me suggestions on what books I can purchase? I remember there was a book called something like 'System Guide to Forth.' Answers to the above questions and other comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much !
