=> In fact, I am personally _very_ interested in working up a test suite for ANS
=> Forth, and am working on a paper on the subject.  Part of the reason for the
=> paper is to find out how many others would be interested in contributing to
=> this effort.  I certainly can't do it alone, and I don't think any one vendor
=> should have to foot the bill for something that will benifit us all.  So, how
=> many people out there are concerned about the testability of Forth and are
=> willing to help define a test suite for the coming versions of ANS Forth?

As I'm writting an Object Oriented Interface, I could help you. The
vocabularies wordset, nameless definitions and portability issues are the most
important to me.

=> Can we have a show of hands?   DaR
