PYGMY FORTH version 1.2
   I recently uploaded the newest version of Pygmy as file #1939 PYGMY12.ARC.

   It "should" automatically adjust to the type of monitor you have (either
color or monochrome).  It works fine on my monochrome system but I haven't had
a chance to test it on a color system yet.  I might get a chance to try it
sometime this week.  So, feel free to hold off downloading it until we find
out if it works as I expect on color systems.

   This new version has lots of little, minor details tended to, such as
whether < & > return correct values.  The flag returning words are faster and
smaller, based on Bob Berkey's code.  The new file HASH.SCR contains optional
hashed dictionary search code that can be loaded on top of Pygmy and turned on
and off.  This cuts compile time by perhaps 1/3rd.  The unsigned mod operators
have been renamed with a U ( eg U/MOD).  BOOT is vectored so you can set up a
turnkey application more easily ( eg  ' MYAPP IS BOOT     SAVE  MYAPP.COM  ).

   I'll post a message when I've tested it on a color machine.  If anyone
tries it before I do, please post a message.
