I would recommend that you look into Sabre C, although I've never used it myself. It has interactive execution, and on-the-fly compilation, etc. .. In Unix land, C is the way to go. I wouldn't wish FORTH on my worst enemy. Of course, if you belong to the Church of LISP, you have no option, lest you risk excommunication. Another possibilty is to rig up a home-grown Sabre-C-like system. On the newer, faster machines, that should be a snap: You can use the C compiler itself, rather than an "interpretive" compiler/linker. You'll need to write a runtime linker, or use ld -A.

There is a program `rastopbm' which converts a Sun-rasterfile to the pbm-format, and a program `pbmtolj' which generates hp-raster graphics from pbm-files. -- Thomas Schilz Universitaet des Saarlandes, FB 10 - Informatik (Dept. of CS) D-6600 Saarbruecken 11, W.
