CVS-Snapshot of the Gforth sources. (Note: since then development switched to git). > What's the plan for 0.7.9?

I'm also waiting for it. But just using Git HEAD or a snapshot is not as bad as it sounds. I'm almost exclusively using the development version myself. Note that there was recently an ABI-CODE regression, so if you go with Git, go with the latest version. > Any chance of an interim Windows binary for it? :D You could install Cygwin and build your version from source. I almost don't use windows, I hope there are more qualified people around to help with or provide a build (try asking on the Gforth mailing list). cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk2.gpg Fingerprint: B63B 6AF2 4EEB F033 46F7 7F1D 935E 6F08 E457 205F
