 We are definitely working on Forth for Windows.  It's a painful process
 though.  I am prototyping the system as a 16-bit implementation, but the
 production version may be a 32-bit 386-dependent version (I'm still
 looking at the pro's & con's of this; the 32-bit support in Win 3.0 is
 very primitive).

 As for whether our 386 UR/FORTH based on Phar Lap's DOS Extender will
 run under DesqView/X, I frankly have no idea.  I suspect that if it ran
 at all, though, it would run full-screen rather than in a window on the
 graphics desktop, so you'd lose nearly all the advantages of the X
 environment anyway.
