 You've all seen the question in the conferences. The new guy who's
 just dabbling in the particular subject covered. Well, here I am.
 And here goes:

 Forth, as I understand it, is highly extensible. Extensible to the
 point that you can basically re-write the language every time you
 use it. Bearing this in mind, how can ANSI set a standard on a
 language that changes on a daily basis?

 No flames, please....I've had a hard day.

 (and Gary....this message is to you because you and Chris Waters
 are the only names I recognize here.....it's an open question!)

 Thanks one and all.....
