Hey Leon,

I bought Leo's book about 20 years or so ago. I started with Forth on a Vic 20.

Then I lost it somehow. So I found it on Amazon a year ago and bought it again.

I'm glad you're offering it to the community. It really is the best thing for Forth.

(I'm working my butt off at FedEx now and don't have time for fun and Forth anymore. I use my Forth alarm clock every day, but have discovered a stack overflow that takes a month or so to happen. I need to fix it before Thanksgiving.)

Take care,

Mike Z

Subject: [swiftx] Starting FORTH Online Edition

We are pleased to announce that a complete on-line edition of Starting FORTH is now available on our website at the following location:

http://www.forth.com/starting-forth

This contains most of Marcel Hendrix's updates, plus a few edits of our own. In addition, we have restored most of Leo Brodie's original, brilliant illustrations.

We do not at this time plan to offer a printed copy of the book.

Please note that we have explicitly granted Marcel permission to present Starting FORTH on his site. Starting FORTH is a copyrighted work and we (FORTH, Inc.) hold all rights to the book. We have not authorized any other copies or versions, on-line or otherwise, and we ask anyone who has a mirror of this book, or a link to any other site offering it, to delete it and provide a link to our copy or Marcel's instead.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Elizabeth, Leon, and Marlin
