Ok All of you Forth-ites, I have a question...
Does anyone believe that a "C" compiler can be written in
Forth???
If so, does anyone know of one?

Why not, there's a public domain pascal written in Forth.
I've heard of people writting versions of BASIC, LISP, PROLOG, and
other stuff in Forth. I've never heard of someone writing a version
of C though. It wouldn't be terribly portable if it were a compilier.
P-Code would probably be best way to do it. No, I'm not volunteering to write
one.
