I've uploaded a new snapshot of the current git HEAD of Gforth into the 
usual place

https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Snapshots/ (http works, too)

Apart from the ongoing development, the Windows version contains a few 
changes:

* Gforth is started in a way that HOME points to the actual home directory 
(which in Windows is composed of %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH%... WTF?), and 
thus all the user-specific stuff actually goes to your home directory - like 
history and such.

* I've added mintty.exe as terminal, which is clearly superior compared to 
the standard DOS box terminal.  Unfortunately, I haven't found out how to 
get rid of the DOS box Windows launches when it starts mintty (the 
workaround which is in mintty.exe itself only works when mintty.exe is 
inside a Cygwin install).

* I've started to generate bindings for system libraries using SWIG.  The 
first one that compiled on Windows was OpenGL ES.  As WGL is not yet 
generated, you can't open a context to work with it, but it's a start.

* Fixpath during installation now does really fix the search path, before, 
it was broken.  I.e. if you use Gforth outside Cygwin, from cmd.exe, you 
should be able to start it from any other working directory.  Make sure, you 
have set HOME as mentioned above.

If you have Cygwin installed, use the cygwin bindist tarball instead.
