Hey, that's not quite fair! Forth and Tcl have different targets. Forth fits into spaces where few other languages could, and it does a good job. On the other hand, I wouldn't say it's as 'powerful' as Tcl for other things. Look at this, for instance... http://www.forth.org/links/mailfig.fth Tcl is certainly more suitable (and readable) for a job like that. Good luck in packaging ficl up, though - it looks like a cool implementation! -- David N.
