Mitch knows how to sing? Will amazements never sease? You are right thought, FORML is certainly a whole lot more fun that the X3J14 meetings. I hope it wasn't our little outing that wore you out while you were down here in LALA land. Sorry about the misdirections, but I thouroughly enjoyed the dinner and hope you weren't too dissapointed with the food. :-) How many FORTH, Inc. people did you meet? The one's with kids brings the list even smaller. Did I say I wasn't going to teach Ben (age 11) Forth? How many drinks did I have before you got there? Of course he will know Forth, just as soon as he figures out that computers are for more than just playing games or writting his homework on. Spelling is also something that is almost a requirement. Soon, but he is more interested in building his R/C plane right now. So, it musta been the other one, and if we are talking about the same person, he doesn't like beginner's code. It would be hard to imagine how he would handle teaching programming to a child. I'm sure it will become a wonderful learning experience for all of them when the time comes. I'll wait and see. #'s 1 & 2 I agree! I kind of like the MASM format, and with things like Windows and OS/2 that format is about the simplest way in. An alternative would be to have a meta compiler output the Microsoft OBJ format, but at the very least, you will have to LINK the program before it is going to be of much use. Has anyone out there solved the OBJ format details yet? DaR ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.
