15 Sig Forth newsletters for a good home, going to best Forth story, shipping paid.

[john blue]

Hi All,

I have 15 ACM Sig Forth newsletters for a good home. I will give these
to the sender of the best Forth story, shipping paid.

Each newsletter has 32 pages of interesting Forth tidbit information,
technical papers, humor, and Forth community information. Authors
include Chuck Moore, George Shaw, Paul Frenger, Klaus Schleisiek-Kern,
Brad Rodriguez, Mitch Bradley, Paul Snow, and many others.

Some of the articles of interest:
- "Forth in PostScript" by Mitch Bradley
- Running commentary / editorials throughout all the issues on the
topic of making Forth "main stream"
- "Science Fiction: Log of the Nautilus" by Paul Frenger (yes, a
little literary diversion :)
- "Computer Algebra in Forth" by Julian Noble (technical article)

Newsletters include:
vol 1 spring 1989
vol 1 summer 1989
vol 1 number 3 fall 1989
vol 1 number 4 winter 1989
vol 2 number 2 december 1990
vol 2 number 3
vol 2 number 4
vol 3 number 1 summer 1991
vol 3 number 2 fall 1991
vol 3 number 3 winter 1991
vol 3 number 4 spring 1992
vol 4 number 1 summer 1992
vol 4 number 2 fall 1992
vol 4 number 3 december 1993 winter issue
vol 4 number 4 december 1994 winter issue

Note that the vol number, months and year titles appear a bit wacky,
yes there were several delays between issues. I just note them as they
are titled :) Vol 2 number 1 is missing from collection.

As I mentioned, I'll send these to the sender of the best Forth story,
shipping paid.

Let the best story win!
Sincerely,
John Blue

I am flattered that you should have singled that one out.

Actually I am rather proud of the program I described (it did a
specialized CA chore, not a general program) because it beat
everything then available (SCOONSCHIP, REDUCE, MACSYMA) all
hollow in both speed mof execution and size of problem that
it could handle.
