Mission accomplished? "I've already modified Jonesforth (v45) to be ANS-compliant at the CORE level (including CREATE...DOES>). My version fully passes the Hayes CORE tests, the COREPLUS tests and those CORE EXT tests that are relevant (i.e. for words that are implemented)." http://www.rtr.myzen.co.uk/bb4wforth.zip
