 Chris,

 As far as a RIME Send of F83218.ZIP--everything is clear on
 this end. BAUDLINE is my node id and our hub doesn't get
 upset about extra traffic, so all that's necessary is a nice
 Sysop on your end to Send the file. I would appreciate it.

 I got into Forth about 5-7 years ago, just enough to become
 completely sold on it. It seemed like the perfect compromise
 between a high-level language and assembly. The only problem
 was that Forth didn't seem to get along too well with
 MS-DOS. I mean, I realize that Forth is meant to be its own
 system, but most of us can't afford to leave the rest of the
 world that far behind. As you mentioned, file access was a
 major stumbling block to serious programming with Forth on
 MS-DOS. Ideally I'd like to try out several Forths to see
 where we've gotten so far.

           ^*^ Cindy
