I was sure something else saved the world ( :) ) too, but I couldn't rememb= er. Of course Lisp and Smalltalk do it. It is a bit of a risk doing it in F= orth because memory corruption is more likely, but I think it can work with= careful, not-too-simple saving code -- checksums perhaps. >=20 > The GUI of Lisp Machine and Squeak looks elegant, of course Rio is very=20 > elegant too :-) >=20 > * https://static.loomcom.com/genera/genera-install.html > * https://squeak.org/ Squeak is another thing I "should have" properly tried. It was the basis fo= r this 3D environment where, instead of sending all the data to all clients= , code snippets were sent instead. The clients were synchronized so they al= l rendered the same. Moving around made me dizzy, though. >=20 > Regards, > Yubao Liu >=20 --=20 The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. -- Chaucer
