     I just returned from the sigForth conference in San Antonio.  The 
weather and food were great!  
 .
     I saw some old friends and met some new ones and only got into one  hell-
raising argument (3-way between Alan Furman, Paul Snow, and  myself).  I like
arguing on GEnie better, as here we have a chance to  complete a sentence
before being interrupted.
 .
     I was disappointed that Dan Miller and Phl Koopman and Charles  Johnsen
were absent, as I expected to see them.  I was drafted to  present a paper
from the last Rochester conference written by Phil and  Rick VanNorman on the
RTX4000.  Unfortunately there wasn't time on the  schedule for me to present
my own paper (on Files in Pygmy Forth).  Oh  well, with luck it will appear in
the published proceedings.
 .
     George Shaw discussed Sh-boom, Paul Frenger: neural nets, Paul  Snow:
Postscript and Fifth and Scheme, Len Morgenstern: OOP, John  Wavrik:
manipulation of polynomials, James Brakefield: Challenges for  Forth, Charles
Howerton: co-ordinating multiple 8051s, Alan Furman:  how Forth works.  That's
not all, but it's all that comes to mind at  the moment.  In addition there
were extensive discussions of almost  everything.
 .
     After the conference I toured the Alamo, which was a block or two  from
the hotel.  
 .
