Slowly, gradually I would like to migrate 32-bit
http://code.google.com/p/mindforth
from Win32Forth to a 64-bit Forth.
But first I will have to obtain a 64-bit
Linux machine, and learn about Linux.
For iForth, does it have to be Intel 64-bit,
or can it be Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),
or yet another 64-bit CPU?
When new people want to do something with
MindForth artificial intelligence, like
http://aimind-i.com by FJR, I may now
start recommending using the 64-bit iForth.

It would be nice to have more information on fJack.
Would it work for the input of sounds and the
output of speech in a robot? Is fJACK
documented on the Web?

MindForth is free.

It is time for a 64-bit Forth artificial intelligence
to take root and evolve in the Linux community.
Anyone curious about the Mentifex proposal for
64-bit AI Minds should please follow the
