There are several Forths out there, including at least two public domain versions. The two public domain versions are on the Fred Fish disks, one is a stripped down Mountain View Press Forth (I hear they are selling a better version) and a ported C-Forth. Commercial Forths include UBZ Forth, which is reviewed in the third issue of Amazing Computing, soon to hit dealer shelves everywhere. Well, not everywhere, but if your dealer calls Don Hicks at PIM Publications, he'll get a box out right away. And back issues are available, so ask for those, too. Amazing Computing has a writer who'll be covering the Forths as they arrive on the software scene.

John I've got a copy of the commercial version of MVP and it's pretty bare bones. It's reviewed in the first issue of Amiga Project which is being shipped now. Creative Solutions has just started shipping ( see msg 14220 ). There will be a review in the next issue of Amiga Project. BTW Amiga Project has a Forth columnist ( me ). Bob Benedict
