I believe the language is Forth. It is a fairly esotheric language that is used because it has a very small footprint and is still quite flexible. I don't know about tutorials, but I have seen an occasional book on it. I had one and actually installed Forth on a machine and tried to learn it once, several years ago but the rewards/effort ratio got to me and I haven't gone back to it. ////jerry > > Any URL or suggestion would be appreciated. > > Thanks in advance. > > Michel > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
