Whilst the underlying VM model has remained the same, there have been a number of changes in the language definition. However, it still performs well as an Application Specific Language Builder allowing you to create the script language you need. With a reasonable coding style it is far from Write-Only. As Chuck would say, Forth is an "Amplifier of Programmer ability". It has been used in some collaborative projects where reading others code was an important aspect of the project. Still, it is Tim's choice. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.
