 I have talked to Brian at Delta Research a number of times over the past
couple of months about the optimizing compiler.  I know that they are testing
it on some soon to be released commercial products written in JForth.  I hope
that its available soon, the small executables would make JForth a viable
developement environment for the Amiga's multitasking environment.  I like
JForth but without the optimizing compiler the 'turnkeyed' programs are pretty
big.  I keep hearing 2 or 3 months for version 2.0... I hope its soon.
