Re: Beginning with FORTH

[Lonnie Reed <Lonnie.Reed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another good place to look is:

http://www.taygeta.com/forth.html

I've mostly played with Eforth, MVPforth and Pygmy forth.
They are all smaller system that at least for me seem easier to
learn. Some of the larger forths have thousands of words and you
kinda drown in them.

"Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and
less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there
are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a
solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There
are no straight lines." -Buckminster Fuller
