 -> >SET-ORDER can be done portably in ANS FORTH
 ->
 -> Only if everyone implements *ALL* the extension word sets.  In our
 -> own case, I can definitely promise you that LMI will *NOT* implement
 -> the extension words that it considers brain-damaged, which definitely
 -> includes ALSO and ONLY.

         Uh .. I think them hummers (ONLY/ALSO) is gone these days.

         Also, I doubt if you would have to implement DOUBLE EXT or
 FILE EXT or FLOAT to get SET-ORDER up and running!

         Ray, you used to be Assistant Grand BooHoo of this effort,
 you should take another look at BASIS and think long and hard about
 lending your prestigious name to pushing this thing thru, esp. now
 as it looks like we are going for dpANS toot sweet.
