As they say (with a striaght face in the original C library) "Use
the fork, Luke" I hope you didn't find the M4 stuff too much of a
brain-bender. I'd be hard pressed to tell you how it works anymore...

Ummm, because the original hForth that worked under MASM for the 8086
used LEX. Like all good programmers, I try not to change stuff unless
there's a good reason, plus I'm lazy.

my website. It helps avoid the proliferation of varaints that killed
Forth in the first place!
