 Subj: COMMENT                       Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 I just got a copy of a new book called "Embedded Controller FORTH for
 the 8051 Family" by William H. Payne of Sandia National Laboratories,
 ISBN 0-12-547570-5, published by Academic Press. This book is about two
 thirds listings of the source code, which is declared to be in the
 public domain. The book contains a FORTH for the PC, a Metacompiler, an
 operating system for an 8051 target system and a terminal emulator to
 talk to the target system. It appears to be a system that was developed
 over a period of several years and is quite complex. There is very
 little in the way of the system and the reader is expected to get this
 information from the listings. 

 The author says that source code and FORTH Encyclopedias for this system
 are available on disk from "participating hardware vendors", but does
 not give any names. It is also supposed to be posted on some bulletin
 boards, but, again, no names re given. Are you aware of this book or any
 one who has the disks or files available? When I realized the amountof
 time nedded to retype the listings would take, I thought that I would
 try find the files first.

 Any help that you might give would be appreciated.

 Bill
