That's interesting.  SteveFORTH is *NOT* public domain.  It is in Beta
release, and until I can get my own Mac system (I wrote it on a borrowed one),
it will *NOT* be formally released.  Most likely, the system will be released
as ShareWare with source code given with registration.  Most likely, this will
happen within a year.  As of this point in time, the status of SteveFORTH is
up in the air.  This is made VERY clear in the documentation.

I should know.  I wrote SteveFORTH.

I'm very curious about this review, and would like to get in touch with the
author.  Can someone tell me what the issue was, or how to get in touch with
Jorg Langowski?
