- Yes, CSI is certainly still around, and still supporting MacForth.
- I believe that's the only commercial Forth left for the Mac.
-
- You might also like to have a look at Mops or Yerk. They are both
- offshoots of Neon, and are thus OOP, but based on a fairly standard
- Forth model. Mops compiles native code, and is very speedy.
- They are public domain, but have extensive documentation.
- They are available for ftp from oddjob.uchicago.edu.
-
- Seeing you're in oz, you could also get Mops from me by disk if you
- give me a snail-mail address. (Yes, I'm the author.) That will save
- you a very long download and give you the latest version
- of the manual, which I've been adding to voluminously lately. I
- give support via email.
