Can someone(s) give me a rundown F[>of the differences between it and the 2nd edition? Well, the 2nd ed. is Forth-83 oriented and not quite so specific to polyForth. Appears to have a fair amount of general clean-up. It also has a real index (as opposed to the Forth word index). --- * QDeLuxe 1.10 #214s ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.

And Martin Tracy's book Mastering Forth is also well worth a look. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.
