A small data point here is that Sun still use Forth in their Sparc workstations. Their system prompt is really a Forth interpreter... I don;t know where the interpreter resides, presumably not in Sparc since its a RISC but interesting that they still use it. (Or they did last time I used a Sparc - 4 years ago?) Alan G.
