[comp.lang.c++] More Jforth info please.

I have been searching for a good Forth. Have you investigated UZBForth
or MultiForth? The ad for UZB (UBZ?) Forth has been absent for a while
from AmigaWorld mag...maybe it vaporized. 

Speed is important to me, but since I am primarily a hobbiest, I want an
easy-to-use system with low cost, no licenses for distributed turnkey
applications, a good editor, ...stuff like that.

I have been used to such things as Parsec Research's SuperForth 64 for the
C64 computer. I'll probably be surprised at a 68000 version. I am new to
the Amiga, owning one only for about a month now.

Anyhow, does this JForth have a "remote" dictionary, to allow for smaller
applications? Does the package include good source code for any Amiga-
specific things such as graphics, Intuition interface, etc.? Is it a clean,
elegant implementation? How about debugging tools? Does it include a
decompiler word, for example. (That's not hard to write, though)

Any more info would be appreciated.

Write to me, Bob Dickow
