Summary: so is this part of the reason why SIGForth was started?

Was it simply as another forum for publication of articles? Or was it something deeper and darker? I joined SIGForth when I sent in my ACM membership application last year (one of the most expensive SIGs a student member could join, too), but I've only received one issue. It looks like they're behind on publishing; it makes me wonder how much material is being submitted. -- Glen Overby uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet)
