This should be easy to (dis)prove. 'Footsteps in an empty valley' -DIGIT \ 27 words NUMBER \ 53 words WORD \ 48 words QUIT \ 14 words BAUD \ 17 words SPACES \ 13 words M/MOD \ 10 words FILL \ 15 words SCAN \ 12 words THRU \ 12 words ] \ 46 words @ \ 11 words ( optimized) ( here I stopped ) I can't find any trace of words that are obviously factored out of larger definitions. All words perform a definite function. Not all words have a stack picture. No words have empty stack pictures. Only the data stack is commented, input stream and rack are not. I counted ':', "name" and ';' as words. The listing I used for counting was the metacompiler for the NOVIX. I didn't count the very long optimizer words (50 .. 72 words, unfactored :-), and also not artefacts of metacompiling like : @ @ ; . -marcel
