[comp.lang.forth] New convert needs info

usenet@cps3xx.UUCP (Usenet file owner) (09/13/89)

I've recently become a convert to Forth and have a few basic wonderings:

1) What is FIG's address and do they put out any sort of newsletter or
rag?
2) Are they any Forth rags?
3) Are the FIG standards available via ftp anywhere? If not, how
would I get a copy?


While I have you on the line:

I have an old Radio Shack Color COmputer 2 up in the attic. It's based
on the 6809. Are there any forths out there I could get a hold of that
would run under OS-9 on it?

Advance thanx from an inquiring mind,

	FORTH Dimensions magazine is published 6 times a year by

		The Forth Interest Group
		P.O. Box 8231
		San Jose, CA 95155

>2) Are they any Forth rags?

	Well, I have a JFAR T-shirt, if that's what you mean :-)

	Another Forth publication is 

		The Journal of FORTH Application and Research
		70 Elmwood Ave.
		Rochester, NY 14611

	JFAR is very hibrow, but has become unreliable as to publishing
dates.

	John you can download the file FORTH83.ARC from my BBS, of
which you are already a member.
