- This not a flame (not even an ember) but a sincere question: How can
- you already have a book coming out on ANS Forth (considering publishing
- lead-times and the fact the standard is still in process) without it being as
- out-of-date as the earlier Basis documents? What is the likelihood there will
- have to be extensive revisions for a second edition?
-
-
- Actually that was two sincere questions.
