sysforth.tgz is in ftp://linux01.gwdg.de/pub/cLIeNUX/interim
right next to libsys.
pforth is pretty lucid code, and it doesn't have many libc dependancies,
so a libc-less build is concievable. Then all that's needed for an
all-Forth userspace that's a complete OS is gcc rewritten in Forth,
which is Left As An Excercize To The Reader ;o)
pforth is public domain, and so is this release of "sysforth". Further
work on this by me will be non-free-ified into my distro, so grab it now
if such things interest you. My understanding is that an author can't
release his right to normal authorship aknowledgement, but all other
rights I have in sysforth are released.
Sorry about the topic skew, but since this creates a useable and
versatile system at about 200k over the size of the kernel itself
I think it pertains.
