You are aware that a well respected Forther, Rob Chapman, PHD/EE, member of the Green Arrays team, notable for Timbre, botForth, Stack Quarks, C without C, various Forth research papers published in the Rochester Forth conference, etc, called it NUP, yes? You are also aware that Philip Koopman, another well respected Forther, author of "Stack Computers: the new wave", whose papers were in Journal of Forth Applications and Research, calls it UNDER, yes? So, I don't know what you're all riled up about. Anyway, NUP or UNDER is equivalent to OVER SWAP. So, it looks like we just need Anton's name for it ... I'm really a bit surprised I have to teach Hans and Coos this. I suspect you two been here long enough to have communicated with Mr. Chapman in person, especially since I'm the C guy here...
