By extention, why don't we hide the ugly details of network protocals, by
building colorForth on top of Linux. Why go through the trouble of
developing a TCP/IP stack, and all the required network drivers. Doesn't
Linux solve this problem? I think you be more comfortable with a
linux-based forth, there are many of these in existence. You needn't
convert colorForthers to your linux ways. Why are you wasting the time of
those who would like a true colorForth operating system?
