F-PC 3.5 has recently been released. I haven't fully installed my copy yet, but it has what look to be some nice new features, including mouse support, hypertext help, and a true-compiler utility (as opposed to just creating a Turnkey copy of the interpreter). It is available from the various Forthnet systems, as well as from the GEnie FORTH RoundTable. --Dave --- Dave Weinstein olorin@walt.cc.utexas.edu GEnie: OLORIN 9036 N.
