SWOOP, SFTalk, Forth Inc support.

Not much. Buggy example code.

Currently:
  a) ActiveX
  b) lean turnkeys by easy removal of the SF console/tools.

If I was a new user:
  a) better print support (including abort dialog)
  b) more example controls
  c) enhanced version of Boxed.F with support for more controls
  d) robust TCP interface
  e) more example graphics
