- For all of you who are in the halibut of waiting with baited
- breath for new Forth books, especially Forth books by jax, stay
- tuned for:
-
- _Forth: the New Model_ by Jack J. Woehr (Hi, Mom!) M&T Books 1992,
- ISBN 1-55851-277-2.
-
- "Forth, the primary language for embedded systems, has
- spawned a perplexing array of Forth systems, syntaxes and
- implementation strategies. The work of the ANS/ASC X3/X3J14
- committee has been to develop and define a platform-independent
- specification so that programmers can write truly portable code.
- This book teaches Forth and the proposed new standard from the
- perspective of a Technical Committe member. You will find it
- especially helpful if you are:
-
- - An experienced Forh programmer who wishes to become
- familiar with the draft-proposed standard for Forth
-
- - A Forth programmer who needs know how to convert
- existing programs to the new proposed standard
-
- - A programmer, experienced in other languages, who
- is using Forth for an embedded control project
-
- - A beginning Forth programmer who wishes to learn
- the language"
-
- Note new title. Should be in your books stores in January.
- Of course, this all won't mean anything 'till I see my picture on
- the cover of the "Rolling Stone" :-)
