Sorry it took so long to post this, you know how it is...
>From a set of flyers I picked up at the West Coast Computer Faire in
late March:
MacForth version 1.0 is being sold by:
Creative Solutions, Inc.
4801 Randolph Road
Rockville, MD 20852
(301) 984-0262
Their price list (as of 1 Feb 84):
MacForth, level 1, single license, single CPU 149.00
MacForth, level 2, plus assembler & graphics 249.00
(also single license, single CPU)
MacForth, level 3 developers kit 2500.00
includes Full CSI support
350 page manual

Right to Execute license for 250 copies
Additional Right to Execute copies
@ $5.00 each, minimum quantity 100
Sound feature sent at no charge upon receipt of signed license
agreement from Level 1 and 2 users.
What does it do?
Allows program development on the Mac
Based on Multi-Forth(tm), available since 1979 on the 68000
Comprehensive 32-bit environment
Extensive trace and debug features. (I assume only in the higher
priced versions)
Allows use of mouse, windows, and menus.
Access to (most) Mac toolbox features.
Advanced graphics support using Quickdraw(tm)
File handling
The list goes on, but I'm not sure how much anybody wants to know or how far
I can go without sounding like a commercial. I'd suggest that anyone
who is more interested could find out everything from CSI.
NOTE: The above is loosely quoted from CSI's sales literature and does not
reflect the opinions of myself, my employers, or Cornell University.
Quickdraw is a trademark of Apple Computer.
Multi-Forth's trademark holder is not specified on this flier, but my guess
is CSI. Sorry if that's not good enough.
