Thanks. But it seems this is only the old 16-bit DOS version.
I have been looking for the ANS-compatible layer file
mentioned in the discussion.

IMHO and without belittling strongforth's merits, I think
that it went too far and proposed another Forth dialect.

I am thinking on a much smaller scale i.e. unification of
operators for xVALUEs and xLOCALs. ANS Forth already has
overloaded TO but stops there.
