 Subj: UR/FORTH 1.1                  Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 The update to UR/FORTH version 1.1 for MS-DOS is now being shipped.

 As of version 1.1 we have changed the packaging somewhat.  The DOS
 UR/FORTH, OS/2 UR/FORTH, object module compiler, and libraries are being
 shipped as a single bundle.  All purchasers will now receive the obj
 compiler and libraries whether they want them or not.  The MS-DOS and
 OS/2 versions have been brought into much closer symmetry.  The graphics
 drivers for the MS-DOS version, as well as the fonts, are now embedded
 in the UR/FORTH EXE file and no separate TSR graphics driver is needed.
 Support for 80x50 and 80x43 text modes has been added to the VGA driver.

 The price of the update to the new bundled version is $75; this includes
 the new manual which has been expanded to about 600 pages.  The price
 for new copies of the bundled UR/FORTH is still $350 but will soon be
 going up (July 1).

 The new versions are available for downloading on the LMI Forth Board,
 but we strongly recommend that you purchase the update disks and manual
 as the download files are *very* large.
