Give me comments on FIG and the 'Forth Dimensions'
I have some questions that some of you may be able to answer.
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 !           Stephen Woo (ucbesvax:skwoo)
