"FORTH Applications" I cant remember the author but it is mainly associated with building FORTH words which handle floating point and the like it is instructional after you read Starting forth. I suggest reading Starting FORTH first it is funny, keeps your attention and will teach you the fundamentals. next, read Mastering FORTH .. it is a bit more indepth than Starting and will lead you into extending the compiler and having that sort of fun. If you can get a copy of the FORTH-83 written by Laxen and Perry, Ting's book is an excillent text to use if you want to get into the internals of FORTH. It is deep but good. I hope this is of some help. George Hageman ( 303-530-6668 ....bmcg!asgb!hageman ) Acknowledge-To:
