  I must admit that I'm really suspicious of this whole ANS Forth thing. 
  First of all, there are a lot of very large vendors out there that never 
  supported the Forth-83 standard.  Forth'ers are notorious to defend their
  own  dialects with a religious fervor.  I get copies of the Forth committee
  documents and I haven't seen much sign that things have changed. They are
  already up to BASIS 12 and don't seem to really be converging on a single 
  standard yet!
