 GS>   I hope you'll share the code with all of us in the near future, Gene. A
 GS>   database sounds like an excellent oof application.

 Much of the internals have more than a passing resemblence to Forth Inc's 
 DataBase facility.  I'm not sure what they would think about posting it. 
Also, 
 providing docs for their words would be a big undertaking.

 A working 32 bit version of Pountain's wordset is on ECFB.   There's a couple

 of spots where I didn't use the new CELL words correctly for 16 bit Forth.  I

 was planning on posting it one of these days real soon now.  You must have
the 
 book to even think about understanding the code.  In addition the code is set

 up for multiuser polyFORTH, which means lots of fiddling with dictionary 
 threads.
