It's primitive; it's dumb; it's brittle--but it's AI.

Today mon19jul1999 the completely up-to-date Mind.Forth Release #28
has been translated from Amiga Fish 977 MVP-Forth into IBM-clone F-PC
Forth and it has been uploaded to the Web page at hit count = 46.

It costs nothing to give PUBLIC-DOMAIN mind.forth a whirl.
Only the manuals for studying F-PC Forth cost fifty dollars.

But as of today Mon.19.Jul.1999 the entire Mind.Forth is there.

However, on a 333 MH Compaq Presario it runs TOO FAST (compared with
the vintage 1985 Amiga 1000 that runs at 7 MH).  Therefore a stop
has been re-inserted into the public domain source code to keep it
from running down the screen as a streaking blur of messages.

There will not be any new Mind.Forth until the weighting problems
have been worked out -- as they were indeed in 26nov1994 Mind.Rexx.

Meanwhile anybody is welcome to port, or critique, or flame the AI.
