It's quite expensive, and --I'm sure even the Polyforth employees you see here will agree-- not a system for an amateur or beginner. Where HS/Forth and LMI products cost up to about $500 or so (depending on levels & options) PolyForth is in the thousands. OTOH, along with that comes some fantastic support, including on-site training, from what I've heard. Polyforth has come late to the DOS-support view, having been a staunch advocate of forth-as-operating-system. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.
