Keith Doyle suggested standards for Forth systems running on
machines with different word sizes.  Such a proposal may be found
in the Proceedings of the 1984 Rochester Forth Conference on
page 284.  The title is "Extended Addressing Wordset", by
Mitch Bradley and Bill Sebok.  A revised version of the proposal is
scheduled to be printed in the upcoming 32-bit machines issue of
the Journal of Forth Application and Research.

The proposal starts with a scheme similar to that mentioned by
Keith in his recent posting.  It also considers machines with
addresses larger than the stack width and stack manipulation operators.
