Hello:

     I am a Forth novice, and we have a project which would port the Forth
system to our new SPARC machine.

     I had heard that the new Forth system can be built from the existing one
by -metacompiler-. I only knew that metacompiler is a Forth program which
run on host system and can save the image of target system. Does someone can
give me a more definitive examples/demonstarions of metacompiler?

     Any suggestions of references/books/papers about metacompiler are
especially welcomed.

     I use a 68K Sun Forth.

     Thanks!!!
