[ColorForth] Boot problems.

[Bob Shafer <bobsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very pleased to report that color1ms3.com works on an old HP Vectra PC
I've got sitting here, which no other colorForth has worked on yet. Very,
very cool!!! I hope others will download and try it on machines they
wished colorForth worked on.

Thanks!!!
