Most of these test cases are available from the FLAG web-site
http://soton.mpeforth.com/flag/anstests/index.html
from which they seem to have been lifted, unchanged, for the Forth 200X 
document. This was without acknowledgement of the source, which seems to 
me rather impolite of you, as author of the 200X document, given the 
amount of work that went into writing the test cases. I notice that you 
were similarly impolite to the writer of the floating point tests.
