Well, I never did RTFM the gForth manual. Stephen Pelc has also criticized me several times for not RTFMing the VFX manual. I didn't RTFM the iForth manual either --- I have no interest in iForth after my experience with Marcel Hendrix posting my encryption-cracking program on comp.lang.forth with my name removed from the copyright notice.

So, what exactly did the ANS-Forth standard accomplish? Nothing was standardized! All of the ANS-Forth compliant compilers do whatever they want to do, but not all in the same way --- being ANS-Forth compliant mostly involves brown-nosing Elizabeth Rather --- she says who is ANS-Forth compliant and who isn't.

And, if the ANS-Forth standard didn't standardize, then why is the chairperson of the ANS-Forth committee considered to be anything except a failure?

With my novice-package I am one of only a very few people who have written non-trivial code that is ANS-Forth and works on multiple ANS-Forth compilers --- but, ironically, Elizabeth Rather says that I'm not an ANS-Forth programmer and never will be.
