Well, I don't want to get involved in the Amiga-ST wars, but you'll be happy to
know that, if true, then the ST has just caught up with the Timex-Sinclair
1000, at least as far as having a multi-tasking Forth is concerned.  I doubt if
there's a computer on the market that doesn't have one.  (Boy, talk about
asking for it.  No doubt there is, and I'll soon hear about it, ad nauseum)
