 JS=>That's great news, Ken.  I'll be happy to mail you a complete set of
   =>files if you're able to keep them around.

 Jerry,

 Is there any chance of sending $40 (the amount of dollars I have) worth
 of disks to the UK?

 I don't know why, but it always seems we're years behind the US in the
 availability of PD and s/w Forth source code.  Yes, F83 version 2.1
 Yes, F-PC version 3.5  And yes, Fig (of course).  But then I have to
 start thinking hard!

 I've seen BBL-Forth reviewed in Byte (just reprinted in the Fig-UK
 magazine).  But I've never seen a copy here.  I've seen copies of
 Guy Kelly's PC-Forth -- but they originate from the copy he kindly
 sent me in 1987 when I ordered a copy of his Forth editor.  I can't
 think of any others.

 If you can do it, please either email me on RIME or snail me at

   Herga House
   London Road
   Harrow on the Hill
   Middx
   Great Britain
   HA1 3JJ

 I'll give any files to Fig-UK -- we are meant to have a disk library,
 but it seems to have fallen into disuse...

 Thanks!
