Hi! I'm new to reading this group, but I have a question. I'm using a Tandy 1000 at home and a Tandy 3000 at work (PC and AT compatible respectively) and would like some suggestions as to which versions of Forth (or Forth like languages) are good for an MSDOS machine. I've previously ran Forth-83 on CP/M but would rather have a setup that was compatible with other programs in MSDOS. Tim Takahashi

There is a very POWERFUL version (or rather a superset) of Forth available for PC's, PC-AT's, COMPAQ Deskpro's (286,386) called ASYST. It ain't cheap ($2,000 ) and it is intended for scientific & engineering applications that involve heavy data acquisition and analysis. It provides truly astounding number crunching. Also a hires graphics adapter (hercules mono or EGA equivalent). This can be obtained from : Adaptable Laboratory systems, 716-272-0070 I jope this is use ful ( damn rented fingers again!)
