Addendum: the "dead frog" comment:
> I'm the person who was dissecting colorforth, a dead frog. The comment from Jeff Fox is totally unfair. The only reason I did it was THAT COLORFORTH JUST DIDN'T RUN ON THE THREE MACHINES I HAD AVAILABLE. And he nor Chuck Moore had any consideration with people like me or would waste their time helping me get colorforth up and running. I never managed to run colorforth, until such time as others made an emulation environment to boot a floppy image under windows. (Did you know that colorforth is just a floppy image?)
Lack of adoption seems hardly surprising under these circumstances.
