<continuation> Incidentally, would you happen to have any interesting forth code that I could play with? So far, all I have are the silly examples in Leo Brodie's book, and the code for the utilities, both which I wouldn't consider to be good examples of day-to-day application code. I'm trying to get a feel for Forth. Just one more ironic point: when I was a Sophomore in college, I wrote a Forth interpreter in VAX MACRO, without really understanding Forth as a language. I was given the rules and behavior of each word. Just shows that you can write programs to a spec without needing to know the purpose behind the whole thing.
