Re: part 21 asserts forth best for small memory systems, would lisp be better in non small mem?

Excellent! A constructive response! What prevented this from emerging in

A library oversight system that is used in common by a core collection
of wordsets ... libraries, servers, and applications alike ...
developed so that users of a range (not every, maybe not even a large
number, but a range) of implementations can simply load and run the
code that they download.

Initial target systems I think would be gforth, WIn32Forth, FPC,
hForth and eForth (v3 model).

A version/revision system built into the wordlist management system,
in support of a versioning system.

Libraries: FSL, TOOLBELT, shuttlepad string handling (don't ask and I
won't tell), script language engine, dynamic memory buffer allocation
spanning ALLOCATE and BLOCKS.

Servers: ThePanel text-driven fullscreen interactive user interface
for text oriented applications, from simple FACILITY through to a rich
text window within a GUI environment.

Applications: a text-file editor with useful macro handling, a data-
file editor with computed data column extensions, a small rich text
mark-up, fold-able literate programming system with back-ends for html
rich text, xhtml rich text, BBCode rich text, LaTex, and rtf, a netcat-
based text oriented web browser ... etc.

So, that's five miles to walk and I've gone 20 feet. I better get a
bicycle.
