In article <3302@sugar.uu.net> I wrote about A4th, a public domain Amiga
forth and how it had been made available for uucp and FTP from uunet and
why it was not ready for distribution to comp.sources.amiga, to which

The usenet maps say richsun is connected to uunet, so *you* can get a copy via 
the instructions I gave in the announcement for uunet subscribers.

As for the reset of the usenet community, for anyone who can't FTP or otherwise
arrange to get a4th, email me and we'll work something out.  I hope to
post it to comp.sources.amiga within a few weeks at the most, like after the 
rest of the bugs with text file inclusion and forth multitasking (task-held
requester the first time you do a 'task: foo   foo activate') have been 
fixed, and after more documentation is written and/or acquired.  As it is, 
it'd be an almost guaranteed turnoff for Forth for any non-Forth-guru who 
tried to use it.
