The FORTH system for the Amiga supplied by Creative Solutions is a multi-tasking FORTH in both the sense that the Amiga has multi-tasking within its own OS, and another layer of multi-tasking within the application, managed by FORTH. I haven't yet had the need or time to play with this feature of CSI's FORTH, but the results should be very workable. CSI has done a good job of providing high-quality FORTH systems for a number of micros (they are the people who wrote MacFORTH). Rich Thomson
