	No, really, Fraser, your postings are very interesting, but
not enough so that I am going to burden the net by quoting them too
often! :-)

	Type checking? Forth does it. It is type STACK or it doesn't
exist!

	Really, what ever happened to the concept of MLL's? Why does
everyone try to prove that Forth is a lousy HLL? C is a lousy delcarative
language for that matter. Prolog is a lousy procedural language.

	Forth is MLL for them what need an environment that allows
them to roll their own, to Go Where No Man Has Gone Before.
