I am releasing the source for JAX4TH, my RESIDENT-able re-entrant proto-
ANS Forth kernel for the Amiga. At one time I had some ideas about further
development, but my work in putting ANS Forth onto Vesta Technology single
board computer products has satisfied all my Forth libido for some time
to come!

Therefore I offer this source for public perusal while asserting copyright
in order that others may use it as an early guideline for coding ANS Forth
systems. I hope they grasp the strengths of JAX4TH while avoiding the
weaknesses. JAX4TH has some huge flaws, which I have corrected in the
commercial single board computer product Vesta Forth Standard Edition.
I meant to correct them here also, but Ars Longa, Vita Brevis.

The author apologizes for the naivete' which led him to spend spare
hours for more than two years to construct this intriguing system, and
then to pass it on to the world without really quite perfecting it. I
trust that other Forth programmers are adequate to rise to the challenge.
I would most enjoy being the "patron" of yet another release of JAX4TH
tuned by other members of the fraternity/sorority of Forth. Please contact
the author by email, or at the address below, if you have improved JAX4TH
and wish to collaborate on another release.

Long Live Forth!

Long Live the Forth Community!
