- Yes that's right. Even worse, the kernel does no contain DOES>, so you are
- NOT able to define CONSTANT as usual:
-
- : CONSTANT ( x -- ) CREATE , DOES> ( -- x ) @ ;
-
- Also there is no VOCABULARY and its supporting words, although the kernel is
- prepared for the ONLY/ALSO vocabulary concept.

-
- [There should been an extension file, which containes these among other
- things. Any references?]
-
- How can anyone be productive with eFORTH without these features?!
-
- Just wondering,
- Ulrich
-
- P.S. I added the above features to eforth a while a go.
- I don't have the file at hand in the moment, so I will post it later.
