Hi.

I am just starting a project for which a small in-house language seems like it
might be a solution. Because I need to get this running rapidly, and because
the syntax/semantics question is not of overwhelming importance a 
Forth-like language (eg stack based) might be suitable.

The last time I wrote one of these, I used a book called something like...
"The Byte book of threaded interpreted languages" as a reference. It was
borrowed from a library which I no longer have access to.

Q. What was the book ? is it still available, alternatively could you
   recommend a book that covers this subject.

Q. Has anyone attempted to write an expert system in Forth ? what was it
   like ?

Q. Is there anywhere I could get hold of the FORML conference proceedings
   for the last few years ?

Thanks in advance.

Andy Dwelly
