    Referring to your sig: According to the book, Forth is especially strong in selected areas of math - I read in the book "Go Forth, and multiply".

        The title should have been "gforth and multiply"

          Don't worry. Mickeysoft is catching up quickly with all the new versions and incarnations of the .Net framework. Compatibility at least never was Forth's big problem.

                  I remember look at some Forth code the guys were writing for an Atari 400/800 at the game company I was working at years ago. I was coding 6502 assembly for the C64 on [a separate game](http://www.myabandonware.com/game/turtle-toyland-jr-6g7). Forth seemed completely unintelligible. While my first "computer" was an HP calculator and I loved RPN, the programming (all 49 instruction spaces) was still linear. Funny that, now that I think about it.

                          I tried for a while the Forth programming language on my ZX Spectrum, then I discarded it in favour of the Z80 assembly.

                            I'm pretty sure HP calculators used RPN purely to prevent anyone borrowing them off you more than once... :laugh:

                                        I did own a C64 back in the day though

                                        I didn't think you were that old! I wrote that back in 1982 or so. Sadly, HESWare folded right after (like within days) of it going to market. I eventually received a royalty check for a dollar and change. :sigh: Marc

                                        Well, I'm not THAT old actually, I'm from '87. When I was about 6 years old I got an uncle's old C64 with a whole lot of floppy disks and I think your game was one of them. What are the odds? :omg: I remember my favorites were Donald Duck's Playground[^] and Robin of the Wood[^]. It didn't last very long as we got a Windows 95 computer when it came out. And I occasionally played on my dad's DOS computer (Prince of Persia and Titus the Fox mostly), but not a lot since that was also his work computer. Good old times :D Since I've played your game once or twice I could give you another dollar to soften the pain ;p :laugh:

                                          I have had some dealings with Forth in the past. In seemed like a write-only language to me. I could never fathom what was going on from just reading it.
