	Kerry - the target compiler should be in release as we speak.
As you probably know, JForth has been out since 1986, with a turnkey
utility but minus the long-awaited target compiler. I currently have
a Beta of JForth 1.3 ( to be released as 2.0) complete with CLONE, 
the target compiler ... works great. 

The only thing holding up the release, if it has not happened already,
is the mind-boggling job of proofing the manual.

	In any event, JForth 2.0 remains a fabulous, "holistic"
environment for programming Amy! One of the driving forces behind
this effort, Phil Burk ( co-author of HMSL also) is on the net,
