I am a novice Forth user, and I am interested in YOUR answer to
the following questions:

1. What do people (you and others) use Forth for?
   What machine do people run Forth on?

2. What kind of application is Forth best suitable for?

3. Waht are the most powerful/useful Forth programs on the market,
   and what do they do?

4. What are the selling features of Forth?
   - against traditional Algolic languages
   - against AI languages like Lisp and Prolog

5. How does Forth support top-down programming?


Please reply to me directly and I will summerize the answers.
Thanks in advance.
