This is a self-extracting archive of the original MVP system Version
 1.0405.03 dated 23 April 1983.  Documentation for this system can be
 found in the new All About FORTH, 3rd Ed., June 1990.  This package
 corrects some of the problems that can be found in other MVP systems
 that have been distributed on the Bulletin Boards.

    Desc: ANS Forth BASIS Document #15

ANS Forth Basis15 in Microsoft RTF format.  This document (BASIS15)
 exists only as a platform for making proposals.  It will be replaced
 in its entirety at the next meeting of the ANS ASC X3/X3J14
 Technical Committee.  Consequently, this document expires on the
 first day of that next meeting.

Folks!  Notice that there is no next meeting date on this latest version of
BASIS.  That is because they have not scheduled one. They are conducting a
mail in vote of the TC members right now to make this one a Draft Proposed ANS
document (dpANS).  This is the moment we have all been waiting for.  If the
vote passes, then (I think) we move on to the public comment phase.  So, look
this one over very closely, and get your comments in to your friendly TC
member.  My personal recommendation is to let them get on with it. It may not
be perfect, but it is closer than we have ever been before.  It is time to see
some implementations.
