Hi all, a new version of bigFORTH and MINOS is ready.

2.3.0 bumps up the minor version again, since a lot of things have been 
changed:

- Ported to Mac OS X (still uses X server).  On Mac OS X, start Xquartz
  and quartz-wm; make sure that the environment variable DISPLAY is
  set to #:0.0#.  Thanks to Ian Osgood for some testing.

- Ported MINOS to VFX; this port is not completed yet, but a number of
  examples work

- MINOS is now LGPLv3

- Changed all X11 calls to non-legacy parameter passing

- Changed #component# classes to allow more terse and uniform
  declaration.  Theseus still can read the old format; if you want to
  mass convert #.m# files, use #./convert-m.sh# /<files>/.

- Easier cross-building with separate kernel files

- Use VirtualAlloc on Windows to work with ExecShield

- Larger default dictionary, heap, and stacks

- True RGB pen/fill/back color for canvas with #rgb>pen#, #rgb>fill#
  and #rgb>back#.  This works only on truecolor screens, of course.

- Added floating point text input field in #minos-float.fs#

- Several Forth200x-related changes
