- There is a new figFORTH written in C that currently runs under V7 Unix,
- Personal C Compiler, and Mix Power C. Porting to other platforms
- should be trivial (considering the vast differences of these three
- platforms!). That other "C-FORTH" looked pretty primitive by
- comparison. From my recollection the author didn't know how to do
- defining words, vocabularies, or indirect threaded code. The inner
- interpreter is a giant CASE statement! Talk about slow! The file to
- look for is HENCE4TH.ARC. It can be found on Genie and
- wuarchive.wustl.edu in the /pub directory (it might have been moved to
- the msdos/forth area by now). Make sure to get version 1.2, not 1.1. I
- can email it to usenet people upon request.

- P.S. Perhaps this should be included in the comp.lang.forth FAQ sheet?
