[net.micro.amiga] Amiga Multi-Forth

southard@unc.UUCP (Scott Southard) (04/17/86)

I recently saw some benchmarks comparing CSI Amiga Multi-Forth to Aztec &
Lattice C on CompuServe.  I only glanced at the note, so I'm not sure about
the results (speed and code size), but it seemed that Forth came out ahead in
several areas.  I'm considering buying CSI's package soon, so I'd like to know
if anyone has done similar comparisons.  Also, please specify whether you are
using the Forth interpreter or compiler (results using both are preferable).
thanks,
brent
