Although Marcel Hendrix announced the 64-bit iForth
way back on 8 October 2009 right here in the
comp.lang.forth newsgroup, Mentifex (Arthur) here
had to go out on 26 October 2009 and buy an
Acer Aspire One WiFi Netbook (US $299) in
order to buy and download the new iForth.

Then I had to learn how to run iForth on the
Netbook using Windows XP Home Edition.
Then I realized that MindForth had to be upgraded
in AI functionality before porting it to iForth,
so I spent a few weeks re-coding MindForth.

Two days ago I labored intensely for five solid
hours to track down and remove a one-character
bug in "TabulaRasa" that did not seem to matter
in Win32Forth but was totally derailing iForth.

One day ago I spent another five hours
carefully importing mind-module after module
from the Win32Forth code into mind.frt iForth.
I could have imported all the variables at once,
but I let iForth demand any missing variable,
so that I could thus eliminate obsolete variables.

http://code.google.com/p/mindforth/wiki/ForthMindTextFile
is where I have just moments ago uploaded the mind.frt
AI program to the Google Code MindForth project.

http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/mind.frt is where I
expect to upload future releases of the iForth AI.

Sometimes people complain that MindForth runs
too fast to accept human user input. If so, please
adjust instances of the "rsvp" variable upwards
in value so as to slow down the AI Mind.

I can not take the Supercomputer AI Mind much
further on my own, so please see what you can
do with the free open-source artificial intelligence.
