 PC/FORTH+ is a reasonable alternative for increased dictionary, with two
 provisions:
 1) all your code defs will have to be rewritten
 2) there is a 50% or greater speed hit, unless your application is
 primarily disk bound or screen bound (the screen stuff is in assembler
 anyway so isn't appreciably slower, while disk stuff is DOS-limited
 rather than Forth-limited).
