Hi Mark,

nice that you stopped by here.  Didn't have much time yet to play around
with colorForth, and reading through the (mostly assembler) sources
wasn't very motivating :) (what a mess).  Quite remarkable how you got
it run on Linux (must have been fun patching those x86 hex-code macros
in the first colorForth blocks, that cannot even be read and edited with
any standard editor :)

While you're around, could you please clarify the copyright on the files
you added?  colorForth itself is public domain; but as it stands the
GLcolorForth is currently not (at least not legally) re-distributable.
A statement that your changes are (L)GPLv2/3, BSD public-domain
etc. would just do, I guess.  For now my copy is hosted on a private SVN
server [1], but I plan to move it to sourceforge/github/whatever.

cheers,

David
