On the LMI board the SYSOP is RAY DUNCAN (whom can also be reached on ForthNet with that name). The LMI BBS is, so far as the public is concerned, open to everyone with a 1200 bps modem. Ray sent me a message last week that the book is in the final stages of production. Regarding the compatibility of Forth and MS-DOS: I know exactly what you mean, and that is what brought me to LMI's Forth some years ago. UR/FORTH is very comfortable with MS-DOS, with Windows, and with OS/2. Ray has do7- a fantastic job of implementation, and I say that not because he is publishing the book. I picked LMI Forth for a major project long before I even thought of doing a book. It has been great and LMI support (via the BBS) is equally fine.
