 I've downloaded Forth Inc's  BridgeForth.  It seems to work but I don't
 have any C libraries to really try it.   You create a separate .EXE file
 with the external functions you want to call.  This is loaded
 separately by your FORTH program.   A defining word is used to setup
 the call given the number of args and the number of the routine in
 the .EXE module.  The technique they used is quite
 clever and only a couple blocks long.  
 .
 FORTH Incs BBS is not public, unfortunately.  It is primarily for
 product support.
