I considered the idea but hadn't gotten around to checking what
emulators are available, and also didn't realize Mecrisp had good
debugging features.  Thanks for bringing it up as I should look into it
more.

I'd want to stay all FOSS, but thanks for the link.  I know there are
some AVR and other emulators around so maybe I could try AmForth.
Again though, this all gets kind of complicated.

The approach of just writing 32-bit code for 16-bit cells now seems
workable for this particular task, so that's the simplest "solve the
problem you have" approach.
