- I see no reason why it can't be done with a regular text editor capable of
- collapsing text. Clicking on a word or heading would open up the next level
- of information. Written properly (in Forth, of course (-: ), it could offer
- all sorts of options for viewing the program and documentation.
-
- The ability to get a list of program modules is not a benefit limited to
- BLOCKS. BLOCKS are great for minimal systems, due to their simplicity. I
- can't remember seeing a good argument for BLOCKS on a larger system, except
- for programmers who want to continue the practices they developed with
- BLOCKS.
