I just received the latest (October) issue of ANTIC.  I'll submit my
usual table of contents shortly but I wanted to share this information
with those interested in the 520ST discussion.

According to an article in the 520ST section, the Dragon Group has just
released a product called 4xFORTH.  It's twice as fast as MacForth and
it's capable of multi-tasking and multi-user functions.  ANTIC will
have a full review in the November issue.  Looks like ST owners won't
have to feel like poor cousins to other 68000 based machines.

Well, I don't want to get involved in the Amiga-ST wars, but you'll be happy to
know that, if true, then the ST has just caught up with the Timex-Sinclair
1000, at least as far as having a multi-tasking Forth is concerned.  I doubt if
there's a computer on the market that doesn't have one.  (Boy, talk about
asking for it.  No doubt there is, and I'll soon hear about it, ad nauseum)
