    Bill Stoddart asked me to forward the following to "concatenative".

    I wish I could attend myself.

    If I had known about it earlier, I would have encouraged somebody

    from the group to present a paper about Joy, with liberal help from me.

    > CALL FOR PAPERS

    >

    > Forth is a simple postfix programming system which is able to

    > provide high integrity software through intensive re-use of

    > components and ease of interactive testing. Forth prioritises

    > extensibility over language features in a way that allows

    > programmers to provide simple but poweful abstractions for

    > specific problem domains. Its applicability ranges over

    > interactive programming of small microcontrollers, powerful

    > visual development environments, the programming of distributed

    > agents communicating via open protocols, and system

    > configuration using the IEEE Standard "Open Boot" which is

    > used to provide "plug and play" style features on Power PC's,

    > Sun Workstations and PowerMacs.
