Brad, can you tell us what those requirements were?  Since I am working on
what is probably _the_ most expensive Forths ($3K a pop), I am VERY interested
in knowing what you all think would make it worth that kind of money.  You
obviously found something in MPE Forth that got you're client to spend half
what we are asking.  What was it, and if it would have been possible, what
would it have taken for him to spend twice that amount?

Maybe I can "fix" some of the problems?
