Just a quickie question. I know of several bulletin boards that have considerable libraries of forth source code. Unfortunately, I now live several states away from the nearest of them. Is there any internet accessable location that maintains such libraries? Thanks for any help! -- This is a shared guest account, please send replies to dbriggs@nrao.edu (Internet) Dan Briggs / NRAO / P.O. Box O / Socorro, NM / 87801 (U.S. Snail)

Since the answer to your question is of general interest, I'm posting my reply. There are three answers: The archives at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil/wuarchive.wustl.edu, but those only have MSDOS Forths that include executables (no source only stuff). GEnie. FIG has chosen GEnie for its official eletronic presence. In lots of places GEnie has a network access point that is only a local phone call away. See almost any edition of Forth Dimensions for "how to" information. FNEAS. ForthNet Email Archive Server. Still under construction. Charter is to start by mirroring the FIG library on GEnie. Details will follow when they are available. -Doug
