In another message I mentioned eforth. While FORTH has been
described as "write-only" it has the potential of being quite
readable. The creator of FORTH described his disgust with "login" as
a term, and proposed the FORTH wording he used, like so:
# I'M JOE
...how simple can THAT be?
So, I propose something like this, in a FORTH environment:
( at firewall )
PORT-FORWARD 80 FROM WORLD TO 192.168.0.15
I'm not sure how that would be implemented, but the term "WORLD"
sounds pretty good to me - means more than "ANY" and "EXTERNALNET"
and "INTERNET" and "REMOTE" put together.
