Cool 4004 based calculator

Dwight,

Thanks for the info. We had numerous projects at Hughes Aircraft written in
FORTH. It's like a dogma. People either love it or hate it. I had a bumper
sticker that said "FORTH LOVE IF HONK THEN". If you have some spare time
could you forward a copy of the emulator ? Thank you very much.

Best regards, Steven

P.S. Quote from Yoda (Star Wars fame) " Learn FORTH quickly I will". (RPN
humor)
