Calling Memphis Forthers.
.
Are there any Forthers in or near Memphis, Tennessee reading this
thread ? If so please respond with a name and way to contact you. I
just talked to a guy who has moved to Memphis from Corvalis, Oregon
and thinks he stepped into Forth's equivalent of death valley.
Apply on comp.lang.forth or any ForthNet node.
.
Thanks, Gary

re: files
Jerry -
I received the files and installed them on Grapevine Friday. Thanks.
Jim is trying to cough up a file list besides the one I pulled off
GEnie for descriptions now. If you still have yours you might want to
include it in the group of utilities you are apparently sending Jim.
You can also send those to me if you wish, and I will see they get to
Jim pronto.
That will put a excellent nucleus of Forth files on Grapevine. WE
also worked out an arrangement with the CAVE, so Roger Lee and Chris
Waters will also have the files on that system.
Thanks again, Gary

It is NOT GEnie, BitNet or Usenet that chokes on longer line lengths. GEnie does expand the port by one character because I invoke the 'no format' command to maintain the same appearance as when posted. This, will then cause line-wrap when moved to the PC-Board based RIME network. The above is merely for purposes of explanation. As I noted in my original request, and have repeated above... this is a request. It will just make life easier for me, when crossing boundaries.
