Well he should give up on winning the Smallest Compiler contest and instead go for the "Most Useful Language" contest. He'll never win smallest compiler since typical Forth language compilers are about 1k byte. As long as the compiler fits on *my* machine *I* don't care how big or small it is as long as it saves me programming/debugging time! Tom Almy toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply
