I was told that for designing my own projects, FORTH was a good alternative to assembler. I've got a lot of programming experience but almost all of it is in descendants of Algol (Pascal, C, PL/1) Well, this got me interested in looking into FORTH, so... Could anyone please suggest to me a list of books that could get me started, and a nice, mainstream, cheap or PD (which I guess could be called VERY cheap) FORTH? I'd appreciate it very much. -- Micha Berger Disclaimer: All opinions expressed here are my own.
