Well, as I understand it LMI's PC/Forth+ is a nice Forth, but does require
the presence of DOS to run.  I might be wrong about this since I don't
own a PC (or Clone) -- I own an Amiga and run JForth.  I do know that
PolyForth does not run on top of DOS, but I do not know if it meets the
ROMable requirement.  Anyone else out there with actual experience with
PC Forths care to comment?
