Ok, I looked inside of
gforth-0.6.2.bin.i386-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
and could not find the real gforth.fi in there.
I do have a copy of a file named that because
I played around with gforth on my windows machine
several months ago ( i think ). Will the Win32
gforth.fi work with the unix gforth as well as
the Windows gforth.exe? Suppose I could just
try it.
also, what is the difference between gforth
and gforth-fast?
I noticed that gforth.exe won't run on my windows
machine, but that gforth-fast.exe will.
