I'm not sure what 8th was written in.  Was this code obtained somewhere 
else or was it code you wrote in C?  If you wrote both the C and the 
Forth code, was it essentially the same code transcribed or did you 
rethink the problem?

Writing code a second time often results in better code regardless of 
the language.
