[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga FORTH Mailing List

I am interested in forming a mailing list for FORTH programmers/experimenters
on the Amiga.  I have a basic understanding of FORTH and have written some
small programs, but I would like to see examples of others' code, etc.  Having
found no source for this kind of material so far, I am proposing to start a
mailing list for people interested in discussing specifically this topic.

I hope that we can solve each other's problems through discourse as well as
observe examples of others' solutions coded in FORTH.   Discussions about
particular nuisances/features of either JFORTH or Multi-Forth (which I have)
are welcome.

Most of all, I think all programmers benefit from studying the work of others.
This should be even more the case for FORTH since some of us have a hard time
getting our mindset geared-up to think as a stack machine.  I think the recent
posting about FORTH bears this out.

Anyone interested should send me (thomson@cs.utah.edu) their e-mail address,
and I will propogate out the mailing list as a mail alias, or set up some kind
of mail feed similar to the transputer mailing list.  (I don't know how to
do this yet...)  Any comments or suggestions are of course welcome!
