        Hello Misc people,

        Pardon the off-topic interruption, but this is once-off thing
for benefit to the Forth community. The FOR survey needs your help in
getting Forth telecom resources information, not excluding anywhere, and
particularly outside of the U.S. If you missed it on c.l.f. please check
out the following.

        Also, could Jeff and/or Penio send in something about the MISC
list itself, and Jeff's WWW site? It is preferred that the providers
supply the information themselves so it doesn't get screwed up! :)

        Thanks for your patience.

        Kenneth O'Heskin

                     FORTH ONLINE RESOURCES SURVEY
                     -----------------------------


        The first Forth Online Resources survey, initiated by Marlin
Ouverson <OuversonM@aol.com>, Tom Bohon <tomb@hecb.wa.com>, and Kenneth
O'Heskin <koh@artopro.mlnet.com>, is an attempt to build a comprehensive
listing of all publicly accessible Forth related electronic resources.

        The compiled Forth Online Resources list will be primarily for
support of Forth Dimensions' ongoing service to the community, but the
list will be made available by email from forl@artopro.mlnet.com to
anyone who requests it, as well as future Forth FAQ compilers.

        The co-operation of the readers of comp.lang.forth is requested
to make this work.

        All resource providers who see this please take a few minutes
and complete the survey form(s). If you have reason to believe a BBS,
or Internet site, or another network may not see this posting, please
pass it on, or fill it out on their behalf. Do not assume George will
do it! We can live with any duplications that may occur.

        "Online Resource" should be interpreted liberally, not just a
major FTP site, but any BBS with a Forth files area, a mailing list, a
directory with a few Forth files, a mailbox supporting a single Forth
product, ... if there's any doubt let us decide.

        Email completed survey forms to forl@artopro.mlnet.com. Or,
it may be uploaded to the AoP BBS [604] 826-9663, or sent by snail
to      c/o ForthBC, P.O. Box 3665, Mission, BC, Canada  V2V 3M1

        All contributors will be emailed a personal copy of the compiled
list.

        Thanks for your help!
