GEnie@willett.UUCP (ForthNet articles from GEnie) (12/22/89)
Date: 12-20-89 (22:18) Number: 2694 (Echo) To: JACK WOEHR Refer#: 2692 From: STEVE PALINCSAR Read: NO Subj: Forth in MS Systems Jrnl Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE Along that line, did you happen to catch the article in last years' MS Systems Jrnl on UR/Forth (and modula2 & lisp, I think) for OS/2? That had some plenty favorable things to say about UR/Forth too - such as a statement (also quoted I think in PC Tech J) that the interactive UR/Forth environment was the best way to learn about OS/2 calls. I didn't catch the ref. because I didn't read that deep into the article. I think it'll be *quite* some time before I ever see OS/2, and that article was a bit on the rarefied side for me... But all of that notwithstanding, the glory days of all-forth issues of Dr. Dobbs J. seem to be a thing of the past. The new subtitle, to replace "....of orthodontia and computer calisthenics" should be "...of mostly C with a smattering of some other languages thrown in as crumbs." ------------ ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.
