	FORTH Dimensions magazine is published 6 times a year by

		The Forth Interest Group
		P.O. Box 8231
		San Jose, CA 95155

>2) Are they any Forth rags?

	Well, I have a JFAR T-shirt, if that's what you mean :-)

	Another Forth publication is 

		The Journal of FORTH Application and Research
		70 Elmwood Ave.
		Rochester, NY 14611

	JFAR is very hibrow, but has become unreliable as to publishing
dates.

	John you can download the file FORTH83.ARC from my BBS, of
which you are already a member.
