To get all the JFAR's FIG sells will cost you about $170. To get all the FORML's FIG sells will cost you over $300. Through in a couple of books and you are approaching 1K BUCK. That's a lot for a personal library. I've been working on mine, though slowly. This may be one reason to consider joining or forming a local FIG Chapter, just so you can build up a decent library. BTW: Aside from FIG and Offette, are there other publishers/resellers of significant numbers of Forth materials? -Doug --- Preferred: dwp@willett.pgh.pa.us, acceptable: uunet!willett!dwp
