------------ Where is there a write-up of the internals of fig-Forth? In particular I want to know the exact structure of the dictionary and of the variables connected with it (here, latest, context, current). The things whose structure I don't fully understand are "vocabulary" words and defining words. I have the fig model listing but it's tough to sort things out without a global description of the structure. Any help would be appreciated.

#R:uwvax:-21800:umn-cs:14200009:000:354 umn-cs!smith Apr 25 18:34:00 1984 I'd recommend "Systems Guide to Fig-Forth" by Ting, sold by Mountain View Press. MVP's ads are in Dr. Dobb's and probably in Byte. Realize, of course, that this gives only the Fig implementation of such things -- other implementations are free to implement the same function in other ways. Rick.
