I have no idea how many hours it has taken, but I've put in many, many hours over many years, i.e., back to 2007 or 2005 or so. This was using as much info as I could get online, e.g., comp.lang.forth, net.lang.forth, fig-Forth source, websites, pages, papers or books by people like Philip Koopman, Leo Brodie, Brad Rodriquez, Rob Chapman, Anton Ertl, etc. Rod Pemberton -- All it takes for humanity to conquer the world's toughest problems is to hope, to believe, to share, and to do, in cooperation.
