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 egg-id!ui3!dickow
