I've found that the best way to learn something is by doing it. I feel
if I were to write Forth, I would get a deeper understanding of the
operations of the langauge (which is my goal as a Computer Science
student). It also allows me to easily make any improvements or fix any
bugs, because I have and understand the source code.
Thanks for the standards info. It's appreciated.
