Future Meetings:

The May meeting will feature the use of Forth in the Unix/Linux environment. The morning session will focus on what had to be developed to develop in that environment and the afternoon session will focus on the experience in using the environment for application development. So, anyone that has experienced Forth with these operating systems and has something to present should contact John D. Carpenter, john.carpenter@stanford.edu

Perhaps in June, the theme will be a Testing Forth. Those who use Forth in development, testing, debugging, and maintaining of hardware will be invited to present their experiences and tools.
