The C programmers reading this are likely wondering why I'm being attacked. The reason is that Elizabeth Rather has made it clear to everybody that this is what she wants: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth/browse_thread/thread/c37b473ec4da66f1 Every Forth programmer who aspires to get a job at Forth Inc. is obliged to attack me. Attacking my software that I posted on the FIG site is preferred, but personal attacks work too. It is a loyalty test. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
