Yes, but I am not afraid to change.

no

yes

no

yes

>6. Please relate the 4 things you like the best about SwiftForth.

The ability to work with the windows API. The BOXED template for making dialogs and the autoID for keeping track of items. These are not in the compiled version.

Making new dialogs could be easier to use with a little work.

>8. What features would you like to see?
I would love to have SwiftForth for my 8 processor APPLE

>9. What features exist, but don't do what you need or expect?

I would like to have better support for multiple CPU's as the new laptops and desktops will come with 4 and eventually 8 CPU's standard. There could be support for assigning threads to the next open CPU automatically.
