Jforth 2.0 is great. It has, among other goodies, an object oriented
extension that is fairly reasonable (It resembles NEON) and allows late
binding. The system comes wilth a debugger and a system ("clone") which
allows the user to create stand alone executables that are comparable to
size and speed of code produced by Lattice C version 5.03. The system is well
integrated with the AMIGA environment, allowing the user to directly call
AMIGA library routines. The documentation is okay, nothing to brag about,
but will get you going in the right direction. It also includes two
assemblers, one RPN and the other "normal".

For the money, its a good buy.
