Re: [colorforth] if then else - but why is there no ‘else’ in colorForth?

Hi Nick,

Thanks, that is great news.  I think I tried booting CF2a and got 
frustrated at that load-the-whole-floppy thing and  I'd started on CF05 
and so didn't want to change at that point.  So if I continue working my 
way through CF05 blocks 20 and 22 (be nice if I finish by xmas!) I won't 
have invested in something that has been superseded.
