Hi, In the process of trying to figure out cell width, I came across a 404 in section 14.1 of the manual: > http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gcc/Long-Long.html#Long-Long in the paragraph > Fortunately, there is a portable language that does not have these > limitations: GNU C, the version of C processed by the GNU C compiler > (see Extensions to the C Language Family > <http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gcc/C-Extensions.html#C-Extensions>). > Its labels as values feature (see Labels as Values > <http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html#Labels-as-Values>) > makes direct and indirect threading possible, its |long long| type > (see Double-Word Integers > <http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gcc/Long-Long.html#Long-Long>) > corresponds to Forth's double numbers on many systems. GNU C is freely > available on all important (and many unimportant) UNIX machines, VMS, > 80386s running MS-DOS, the Amiga, and the Atari ST, so a Forth written > in GNU C can run on all these machines.
