            -------------------------------------------
            "RARE" FORTH BOOKS CURRENTLY STOCKED AT MMS
            -------------------------------------------
 
Recent ForthNet postings bemoan the lack of sources for good Forth books.  
Miller Microcomputer Services can help!  We currently stock the following 
new and out-of-print Forth books (as well as other books of interest to 
Forth programmers).  MMS invites your phone call (9am-9pm Eastern U.S. 
time) to confirm stock, price and S/H, or to discuss the appropriateness of 
a given book to your needs.
 
MMS also produces and supports MMSFORTH for PC-compatibles, plus MMSFORTH 
extension wordsets such as DATAHANDLER-PLUS, EXPERT-2 in MMSFORTH, 
FORTHCOM, FORTHWRITE and GENERAL LEDGER.  MMS offers custom programming, 
and PC-compatible system selection and peripheral sales -- including Harris 
RTX-2000 Forth chips and the Harris RTXDS Technical Reference Manual, plus 
RTX-2000 support by the MACH1 In-PC Board and FORTH++ from England.
 
A MMS brochure is available via U.S. Mail, free upon request to any of our 
addresses below.  Be sure to include your snail-mail address.
 
Partial listing of books currently stocked at MMS:

THINKING FORTH (Brodie)                                 $26.95
  Out-of-print, but still at MMS - best on Forth strategy.

  Most popular Forth textbook.
SCIENTIFIC FORTH (Noble; includes 360K disk for PC)     $49.95

  Older, fine Forth textbook.
LEARNING FORTH (Armstrong)                              $16.95

POCKET GUIDE TO FORTH (Baker & Derrick)                 $ 7.25
  Very good for FigForth users.
 
We try to minimize the commercial aspect of our postings here.  I trust 
most of you will agree that this exception, in direct response to the 
current thread on ForthNet, is appropriate and helpful to Forth 
programmers.            --Dick Miller
