I prefer to work in the Linux environment so I downloaded your Linux package. Unfortunately it is 32 bit only. Many Linux distributions do support what they call multilib, that is 32 or 64 bit executables, however several major distributions are 64 bit only. Alas I'm running a pure 64 bit distro (Slackware) and I can't use your evaluation package on Linux. I'm using it on Windows in the meantime but I'm posting here in case you weren't aware of this limitation. The fact you included such nice doc in the package and sample code etc. is outstanding! This is my first exposure to FORTH and I'm liking it and your product so far! Will you be making available a 64 bit Linux version for purchasing at some point. I am not ready at the moment since I'm just getting started but I would certainly consider your company if I do decide to continue working with FORTH and curious to know your plans in the Linux area. Cheers, Harry Baker
