Hi, all!  I guess I'll introduce myself here.  I've been in on & off for a
while now.  

I've been working with FORTH for about 10 years now, using the FIG version for
the TI computer (Wycove), F83 on my cp/m computer, and now, finally I've
graduated to a 386 that I'm running F83s.

I use FORTH for everything I can, mostly having to do with running my  office
(I'm a doctor of Chiropractic) and it's sort of become an intense hobby.  Most
of my applications involve accounting, databases, and  word processing & the
interfacing of all of the above.

I'm having trouble understanding why people keep talking as if FORTH  is
totally useless for anything except imbedded systems & such --  my office runs
veerrrryyy quickly & efficiently on the programming I've built over the years.
Of course, being custom-designed, it does exactly what I want it to!
