	I'm certain that everyone here is familiar with the architecture of
FORTH.  I know that I once tried to familiarize myself with the language.
Anyone who doesn't know what FORTH is can write to the poster of the above
included message, who I'm sure will be more than willing to tell you all
about it.

	In the meantime, please don't have another language war.  We have
enough trouble trying to agree who makes the better Amiga C compiler without
trying to bring other languages into it.
