Speaking of object oriented forths...NEON is still alive and well on my Mac II. There are a few basic additions to the kernel (like a methods stack using another 68000 address register). The rest is high level additions to forth. The additional stack allows the use of local and named input variables. Multiple cfa words can also be defined . Early and late binding are supported. Instantiation in the the dictionary or on the heap.

Instantiation in the the dictionary or on the heap. The author of Neon went on to make Actor, an Object Oriented environment for MS-Windows. Is Kriya Systems still supporting Neon? There were many bugs reported in the early versions, which turned me away. I'm interested in this if the support has been decent. It might also be interesting for you to share some of the OO implementations that you find useful, or cumbersome, via example. I'm sure many others would be interested. - k
