You have to know Andrew to interpret that.  He believes in stamps from
governmant-approved agencies, that take our hard work away from us and
charge a lot of money for their service of stamping it.  So when he
writes "Standard Forth" or somesuch, he means ANS Forth, which has
some funny ANSI number), which has also been provided with a new cover
and stamped by ISO (referenced above).  Some of us who know that this
is just one standard in a series of standards call it "Forth-94",
especially since we are working on an update.
