I would like to be in the mailing list, but I couldn't send mail to
america - so I don't know if mail can get to me.
Also, I recently heard of a forth chip that executes forth at
5 mips (!@#$) Does anyone have any info ? or was i just dreaming.

The NOVIX chip is reportedly capable of 8-10 MIPS (there are several configurations). NOVIX (1985 address) 10590 N Tantau Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 Chuck Moore has a company called "Computer Cowboys" (I think) that sells another VSLI Forth board since he left NOVIX. Anyone have any info? Also, Allan Winfield (author of "The Complete Forth", Wiley) developed a bit-slice Forth engine, a C written in Forth, etc. As of a couple of years ago he was at the University of Hull, UK. Dick Pountain, Byte UK editor in London, would be a good source of info about Forth. (He recently wrote a book on object-oriented extensions for Forth).
