I have disassembled the original colorforth. You could use the
same techniques and tools. See previous posts, or the site in
my sig. Click on ftp.
It regenerates the names from the code, and disassembles all
hgh level code correctly.
You can even change the bit map Chuck Moore used for the character
'Y' easily.

Sure enough, my disassembled code assembles to exact same code.
