HMMM!!! Forth dying...interesting. I do see that it is being adopted in 
Openfirmware (the code that boots all the cards/motherboards made by 
Apple, Sun, Intel, etc...I do see that it is still being used in many an 
ATM. I do see that it is to be put forward as a replacement for FORTRAN 
in the scientific community (try: www.taygeta.com) I do see that someone 
(try: www.mistybeach.com) is actually quite a way into a FORTH emulator 
in JAVA. I see many many thing with FORTH, pity mostr people don't even 
notice it's there.
