 Subj: NEW FORTH BOOK                Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 A new book, Programming for the Utter Beginner Who Has an MS-DOS
 Computer, will be published in early February.  I wrote it,
 Laboratory Microsystems will publish it.  The initial version
 will, for a time, be supplied with version 1.1 of LMI's UR/FORTH,
 which also has an early February publication date.

 The book's goal is to teach programming (not Forth) to the utter
 beginner.  Forth is indeed the language used, but it is viewed as
 the means, not the goal.  This gives the book a somewhat
 different slant than other introductory Forth books.

 The reader learns by working through examples and revising tools
 provided with the book.  Several screen files are provided:
