	Dave, you must be the only Forth programmer in America who
is not digging out from under a winter avalanche of ACM SIGForth
mailings!

	The Association for Computing Machinery has started a Special
Interest Group for Forth. On Feb. 17th they will be getting together
in Austin for what is planned to be the first of many annual conventions.

	Individuals associated with the SigForth are involved in ANSI
X3J14 proceedings, but the SigForth is not itself directly involved.

	For more information, contact ACM, PO Box 12115, Church Street
Station, New York, NY 10249 (212) 869-7440. 

	You might also leave a note for DANMILLER on GEnie, or email
Dave Weinstein >> olorin@vondrake.cs.utexas.edu if that address is
still good.

	Dan Miller also checks in from time to time on my BBS, number
below \/\/\/
