We will not be following any book in particular but will gradually
develop the tutorial material along the lines that we have found to be
successful.  We will slowly develop new ideas introducing a few new
words each time we study a different program.  You may, however, like to
study other books to get new examples and ideas.  The best books in my
opinion are the following. Get the ones at the top of the list first!

1) Starting Forth  (2nd edition) by Leo Brodie, pub. Prentice Hall
2) Thinking Forth                by Leo Brodie, pub. Prentice Hall
3) FORTH: A Text and Reference   by Kelly and Spies, pub. Prentice Hall
4) Mastering Forth (2nd edition) by Anderson and Tracy, pub. Brady
5) Object Oriented Forth         by Dick Pountain, pub. Academic Press
6) Designing and Programming     by Townsend and Feucht, pub. Tab Books
   Personal Expert Systems

ÓÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĽ
Write a FORTH word using the ideas we developed in CHECKER_BOARD to
write your initials in large block letters about two inches high by one
inch wide. Upload you solution as a message, the most elegant solution
will win a prize! How much work would it take to generalize you program
so that you could include all letters of the alphabet?  Could you type:
J A C K <enter> and see this name on the screen in large block letters?
This last request may be a bit ambitious at this time but it is
something you might be thinking about.
