- I'm sure a lot of Forth'ers read your message. If you haven't had any
- response, it might be an indication of one of the problems of Forth: everyone
- agrees that a library of portable words would be a great idea, but for some
- reason, no such library is forthcoming. :)

- Maybe the ANSI standard will be the catalyst that starts the creation of such a
- library. If it did that and nothing else, it would have been worth the effort.
