Hi Vaded, Dr. Nick. and them that are about...
Ray here...

I too remember a conversation with Jeff on #c4th irc.freenode.net
about a colorforth used at IntellaSys. The colorforth was said to be
running as if native with-in linux, windows, or as a native making
coding blocks for the native very convenient in your host os. Portable
even.

I would imagine if it is being used at all, that colorforth would be
designing chips, software to simulate chips, software to program them,
and tools to support the entire effort.

I can't recall _when_ the conversation was. I seem to remember it was
pre the '05 release. I know I had a similar conversation with Jeff pre
the '05 release, and I also recall finding out about the actual
release an unreasonably long period after it had been released. Weird
that. You'd think I'd have been one of the first to know such a thing.

But the point is I do remember such a conversation as vaded has
reported. Multiple people were said to be working on it at IntellaSys.

When...?
