 Ray,
 I always look forward to your column in PC, but I was a little
 disappointed that you didn't mention Dick Pountains's Object
 Oriented Forth book in this month's column.
 I had read a lot about OOL's but it wasn't until I actually
 implemented his words that I really understood what was
 going on.  The hardest thing about this concept, especially
 for old timers like myself, is getting past all the jargon.
 Seeing the concepts in Forth strips away the jargon and the
 bizarre C++ syntax, leaving the essential elements of 
 vocabularies, arrays, and memory management.
 Although I realize that the number of Forth programmers in the
 "PCM" audience is to small for you to dedicate your columns to
 Forth, I would think that a book reference could be accommodated.
 Looking forward to next month.
 Gene
