- I have a copy of the shareware version of Uniforth and I like it
- and would recommend it to beginners. But is the professional package
- still for sale, or was it a closeout that is no longer available? It
- would be a shame if a good Forth book became unavailable because of
- lack of interest. Uniforth is an old product that never seemed to be
- popular enough. If its manual is a good description of the inner workings
- of Forth, then there should be an effort to keep it in print.
