I thought I'd mentioned that it is not entirely true that no other computer language can be converted to another language. Not being a natural language, Forth, can easily be converted to any standard text type language and there has even been efforts to convert to Chinese( not text type ). Since Forth has its own rules on noun/verb/object order, the language that it uses is not important. This is unlike most languages because most use complex precedence rules( LISP being another exception ). One can not fully overload the + operation in languages like 'C' because it would end up looking like +( a, b ) instead of a + b. I know of at least one German Forth and work in progress on a Chinese Forth ( issues are mainly entering and displaying characters ). Both of these can be source files loaded the Forth. One can even have both at the same time and switch back and forth. Heck, One might even have three languages or more to select from. One's imagination is the limit( and real memory). Dwight
