Re: FAT in the news...

While I can't say I have written a really HUGE project in Forth, I don't see
any
reason why one couldn't. I've written some fairly adventurous Windows
projects
all by my lonesome, in SwiftForth, (and JForth...and other Forths), with
rich
Windows GUI interfaces, in daily use currently by the University of Idaho et
al,...
programmed with impunity and total disdain for the 'C' world (just
kidding...I
like 'C' too) . ;-)

I could put my app up on my ftp website if I get any interest. But not the
source just yet... I want to keep it proprietary. Sorry. (The app in
question
is a database manager that creates web .html pages for concert events for
the School of Music here. It resembles 'WebCalendar' CGI scripting utilities
in terms of functionality, but sets up a non-CGI dependent system.)

BTW, I sent a response to the 'embedded.com' site or whatever concerning
their antiquated introductory article on Forth., with comments on specific
points.
Claiming that forth is just for embedded systems or boot code is pretty out
of
it, really. Did y'all read that article? I chuckled in spots.

Regards, Bob Dickow (French horn player, university prof, composer,
and total unabashed computer nerd)
