 Subj: FORTH MODULARITY              Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 Hi JAX, thanks for your reply. It did seem to me that the CALL..RET
 system would be fastest,  and take 1 more byte per word.  However, it
 (my application) has plenty of memory, but has to do some real time
 processing of speech signals, so speed is of the essence.  Thanks for
 confirming my suspicion.
   As to JFORTH, I assume this is a commercial Forth and since I have
 neither an Amiga, nor a knowledge of 68K assembler, I'm afraid I can't
 follow up on that one...thank you for suggesting it though.  Perhaps if
 you get a chance, you could describe a bit of how they implement
 modularity, I am sure it would be very interesting.
    See ya round.
