 Subj: SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS-      Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 I personally use LMI's 68000 and Z80 meta-compilers.  They are both use
 to produce embedded controller software.  VERY efficient use of both 
 ram and rom space.... I was really surprised when I turned off all the
 headers!!!!!
  As to development time..... C programmers and FORTH programmers of
  equal proficiency, compared, the FORTH programmer will typically get
 the job done first....
   It was once put to me this way:
    " C is for people who want to write programs, FORTH is for people who
      want to get a job done....."
   FORTH is an EASY language to learn to be useful at, but it takes a
   LONG time and a lot of re-writing of code to become GOOD....
         Good luck & may the FORTH be with you,
