Hello,

I am working on a project using Ada95, and have no experience with this
language. What I have seen so far looks good from a software engineering
perspective.

When confronted with a new language I like to explore it though an
implementation of a threaded interpretive language (TIL), such as Forth.

Does anyone out there have (or can point me to) a TIL (Forth) written in Ada?
If I can't find an example I'll try to write one from scratch.

This actually has some practical value, as the TIL can be used to great effect
as a scripting tool during systems integration and testing. In a recent
contract I wrote interactive socket scripts using a UNIX C-based TIL; allowing
fast internet communication with an NT running Visual Basic.

Generic interpreter examples would also be a great help.

- Dave T
