I think Mitch Bradley has a point here. Many people do not take Forth
seriously becaus it is a "public domain" language. I think that is also
a reason why there are not so many commercial Forth systems available.
People try to find allways a free Forth first. And some are using 
a shareware Forth without paying anything to the author.

At this moment Forth is only a hobby for me, but even so I want 
a supported product and I have paid for it. And I have received
support and help. I think most readers of this newgroup know that
you surely need support when working with a Forth system.
