In comp.lang.forth / lord+@andrew.cmu.edu (Tom Lord) asks:

   I use Delta Research's 'JForth' on the Amiga. They will have a way
   to eliminate unused words in a finished application.

   I am working on a crash-proof programmer...myself. And failing.

>3) Does there exist an object oriented forth or forth extension?
   Again, JForth has 'obe', an obj oriented environment based on smalltalk
   that takes, I think, about 23k of dictionary space. It's nifty.

  Finally, concerning this newsgroup, I do check it out. Curiously, not
too many folks contribute to it. I for one would like to see more discussion
and even examples of source code. Hows about it folks?!
