Alas, people don't ever seem to have anything to POST to comp.lang.forth, even when given something to respond to. For example, I posted a request for the address of the Forth Interest Group. To the sound of null silence. I eventually found it in the back of a FORTH book in the library. I guess it's because Forth is a dying language except on microwave controller chips... after all, who would want to write unreadable FORTH programs, when they can write unreadable "C" programs instead?! -- Eric Green elg%usl.CSNET Ron Headrest: A President {cbosgd,ihnp4}!killer!elg for the Electronic Age!
