[Coco] How much memory (Forth/FLEX)

[Frank Swygert]

Frank Hogg continued "trumoeting" FLEX even after OS-9 L1 came out due 
to the limited memory of the CoCo until the CoCo3 came out. His stand 
was that even with 64K OS-9 was pretty limited for multi-tasking and 
memory use, you had more free memory to work with in FLEX. Like all OS 
choices, it really depends on what you're doing as to what is "best".

As I was reading Frank's message I was trying to picture the programming
language do the deeds of an OS :-)

Hogg's trumpeting of Flex was also very prominent in Bill Sias's "Color
Computer News" publication; this was before the OS9 Level 1 release by Radio
Shack, back when the first CoCo's started to sport the full 64k RAM
upgrades.
