But you don't need to "study" Forth. He's suggesting using that text to introduce you to how to use the stack, probably because it is one of the better texts out there. I'm not sure whether it's really the best way, but I don't know what is -- I'm a Forth expert, so I wouldn't know. > Emeka -Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
