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
