Getting away from the current Forth bash/brag war for a moment...  HELP!

: HELP!  ( -- )
   newsletter_editor?
   IF   having_trouble?
      IF    ." Want to exchange articles?"
      ELSE  ." Want to contribute articles?"
      THEN
   THEN ;

Surely someone else out there is having as much trouble finding articles and
informative examples for their local Forth newsletter as I am!  A few years
ago, FIG was sending out a newsletter and handout exchange, and it was wonder-
ful while it lasted.  What newsletters survive?  Anyone for exchanging over the
net?  Not that I have all that much to exchange...  but little bits add up.

Is anyone maintaining a Forth software library these days?  Small, interesting,
portable or useful applications?  "Why should I learn Forth?  What does it do?"
"Well, it's really great!"  "Ok, show me ..."  Silence.

I have been able to use material off this list a few times, but it is getting
less informative by the day.  Less bashing and more constructive info, please.
;-)  :-)

Thank you all,                     -john
