I used FORTH for about 3 years (groan).  I don't claim to be a UNIX wizard
- tho I've done a fair bit of C and have read "The Design of the UNIX
Operating System" from front 2 back and back 2 front. A FORTH interface to
UNIX might'nt be a bad idea - at least you can test what things like
socketpair(2) do interactively instead of recompiling (thrash .. thrash ..
NFS groan ... ).
 I've been tempted to write a FORTH compiler in C (as in build interactive
versions and loadable binaries with preprocessing etc) but just haven't had
the inclination. Does anyone know of such a creature ... and would it be
worth crafting?

(I'm in love with UNIX, but sometimes she won't talk to me
 perhaps I'll just have to accept(2) my fate .. sigh).

Matt.
