First, MicroCornucopia didn't die last year.  It did a couple of months
ago.  But, would someone please post or email to me the address / phone
number for 'The Computer Journal'?  Do they have Forth columns very
frequently?  I still scan Computer Language hoping to find something
there upon occasion.  BTW:  I thought that the last two issues of FD
were particularly juicy.  Thanks to the editors/publishers, and esp. to
the writers!
