Greetings and salutations! When I was in high school (ugh!), I got tired of Pascal and looked around for a new language to learn. I think I picked Forth more out of a sense of contrariness than anything else. I *loved* it! Unfortunately, my teacher refused to accept Forth projects and I only did a little work on my own with Forth after that. Now I'd like to get back to Forth. Could someone direct me to a place where I could find a PD Forth for the PC? Preferably through anonymous ftp? Thanks, Nick Vargish bander @ cscwam.umd.edu

Thomas Rolf's has a OnLine Information Service (OLIS) for Forth information. It contains among other things, files which describe what ForthNet is, and how to access SIMTEL20. There is another anonymous FTP site that keeps a mirror-image copy of the files on SIMTEL20, but I can't recall its name right now. Anyway, OLIS is temporarily down for improvements. In the meantime, if you would like either of the two aforementioned files, drop me a note at one of the addresses below and I'll email you one. -Doug --- Preferred: willett!dwp@hobbes.cert.sei.cmu.edu OR ...!sei!willett!dwp Daily: ...!{uunet,nfsun}!willett!dwp [in a pinch: dwp@vega.fac.cs.cmu.edu]
