 Subj: DO LOOPS IN FORTH             Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 FOR - NEXT is a new syntax that Chuck Moore introduced within the past 
 couple of years.  DO LOOP is the standard forth loop syntax.  I believe 
 the forths for the RTX are related to the forth Chuck wrote for the 
 Novix forth chip (in fact, the RTX chip itself is a descendent of the 
 Novix chip that Chuck designed) -- may even be the same CMFORTH, for all
 I know.  And as we all know, the only "standards" Chuck Moore seems to 
 care about are his current standards of the hour.  Maybe an hour from 
 now, he'll have changed his mind, or created something new.
