Yep.  VFX supported three different f/p packs and SwiftForth's single
(Win) f/p pack came with a variety of options.  This was flexibility
at the cost of the user knowing what he wanted.  Users could save
their choice to a new exe and have it available at bootup (though
maybe not on the demo versions).

These offer less options.  VFX theoretically allows replacing the
default pack with another but I had issues doing it on Win which
I reported.  I've not seen a fix/update for VFX for two years.

SwiftForth f/p was rationalized down to one mode - 80 bits, hardware
stack.  As this made it possible to distribute my superior,
VFX compatible, f/p output pack, I'm not complaining ;-)
