Yeah, well, Sun's had a forth interpreter in its boot ROM for years now
:) While I've never worked with forth myself (I do poorly enough with
the C, Perl, and Bourne shell scripting I do now, I don't need to write
half-assed code in ANOTHER language) I understand the idea of forth well
enough, so I'm not amazed that it's that small - Just pleased. Keep up
the good work :)
