 Subj: UR/FORTH 1.1 FOR MS-DOS       Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 UR/FORTH version 1.1 for MS-DOS will be released on February 1.  This
 version brings the UR/FORTH for MS-DOS into improved symmetry with the
 OS/2 16-bit protected mode and 80386 32-bit protected mode versions. 
 The graphics drivers and fonts have now been embedded in the Forth
 executable file, so that there is no longer any need for the separate
 TSR graphics driver and/or font utilities that were used in MS-DOS
 UR/FORTH 1.03.  The Intel 8087 and 80287 coprocessor floating point
 packages have also been extensively rewritten and there is a drastic
 improvement in the performance of transcendental instructions such as
 FSIN, FCOS, and FTAN.

 Along with the release of UR/FORTH 1.1 for MS-DOS there will be a change
 in UR/FORTH packaging.  The 16-bit UR/FORTHs for MS-DOS and OS/2, along
 with their object module compilers and libraries, will be combined in
 the same package and share the same manual.  The price will remain $350
 for now, although it will probably be raised after July 1.  Registered
 owners can purchase an update to the new version (with new manual) for
 $75.
