> Perhaps these words might read better as ">FAR" (to far) and "FAR>" > (far from). There may be some who think this whole thing is going "too far", but I say "far from it". Elizabeth Rather, who chairs the committee (and who incidentally was the world's second Forth programmer, after Chuck), was absent during the preliminary discussions that led to the names "FAR-IN/OUT". She was present the next day when it came up for a final vote, and everybody had been very careful not to mention the names to her. We wanted to see her face when she read the names aloud in preparation for the vote. We weren't disappointed. Mitch
