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?! Bob Dickow (...egg-id!ui3!dickow)
