I recently saw an advertisement in Midnight Engineering for a Forth 83
development system by Upper Deck Systems. The information that I have 
recieved from them describes the system as a "contained environment for
program development, including built-in editor, assembler, decompiler,
and debugger". It creates .exe files with no link step and uses standard
text files. The system sells for $49.95. It looks like a very good system.
The told me that it was developed for in-house use about 5 years ago, so
I would imagine it is fairly bug-free. Does anyone have any experience with
this system? 

						Thanks!
