- A further comment about Forth; some it's concepts have been incorporated into
- commercial software and even printer ROMs. PostScript uses a Forth model, for
- instance. A PC-based laboratory data capture and manipulation program called
- Assyst uses a Forth model (RPN and a stack) as well; so does the CyberMate
- animation system on the ST. The time I spent learning Forth was not wasted...
