"I forgot to mention, the author released this GS Forth
as (C) Freeware for all GS users. Some other features,
it can create a stand alone GS app, has it's own version
of Logo as part of the tutorial, which you can use in
your own programs also. When I fooled around with
the program, it seemed very stable.
Forth is an unusual language for people used to Basic
or C, but once you get the hang of it, this system makes
it very easy to build applications."
And, I reply...Yes indeed, to all of the above - with the
exception of one small correction. The author released
it into public domain. I was so impressed with the text
tutorial, documentation and info from the archive after
I downloaded it - that I'm making it available in 80 Col.
ASCII text files for easy online reading and review - along
with the ShrinkIt archive of the Forth GS II program, which
also contains all the text files.
You can find it for online reading, review and download from
the following URL in the Jan2000 issue of GS WorldView.

And, thanks very much Phoenyx, for bringing this great programming
language bundle and archive to my attention.
Cheers,
Tom
