Sorry it took so long to post this, you know how it is...

>From a set of flyers I picked up at the West Coast Computer Faire in

        Sound feature sent at no charge upon receipt of signed license

What does it do?

    Allows program development on the Mac

    Based on Multi-Forth(tm), available since 1979 on the 68000

    Comprehensive 32-bit environment

    Extensive trace and debug features. (I assume only in the higher 
         priced versions)
    
    Allows use of mouse, windows, and menus.

    Access to (most) Mac toolbox features.

    Advanced graphics support using Quickdraw(tm)

    File handling


The list goes on, but I'm not sure how much anybody wants to know or how far
I can go without sounding like a commercial.  I'd suggest that anyone 
who is more interested could find out everything from CSI.

NOTE:  The above is loosely quoted from CSI's sales literature and does not
reflect the opinions of myself, my employers, or Cornell University.

Quickdraw is a trademark of Apple Computer.
Multi-Forth's trademark holder is not specified on this flier, but my guess 
     is CSI.  Sorry if that's not good enough.
