Okay, so that's three... *wink* You missed Apple's boot loader. I love Forth. I'm no good at thinking at that low count-the-bytes level, but if I was, I'd much prefer to use Forth than C or assembly. I've got a bunch of Forth books here, and when I'm bored I read them for entertainment, and dream. I love the fact that Forth is still in use. But I'm under no illusions that there are millions of Forth developers getting paid to write in Forth. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
