 Subj: MARKETING FORTH               Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 Well Fifth *IS* being marketed...

 They claim that the **FIRST** Commercial Post$cript interpreter was
 written in Fifth (I assume that they are referring to the first 3-rd
 party attempt to make a Post$cript clone).   This is most certainly a
 massive undertaking done in Forth!   The only saddening thing is that 
 they didn't have enough money yet to put it in anything but the
 'want-ad' section of DDJ- but it's a *real* start in that direction!
