[bigforth] I am not a 'real programmer'

[PhiHo Hoang]

Greetings,

    I am not a 'real programmer' so I tried to read the manual.

    And I found out that I cannot (yet) read German ;-)

    Or I missed the translated pages.

    It is very much appreciated if you can help me to resolve
    the following problems :

    1/- On my system WindowsXP, only xbigForth.exe seems to be usable.
          Forthker.exe    and bigForth.exe give me scrambled console.
          Is this a problem with my system or a known problem with bigForth
?

    2/- How can I recreate the images 'Forthker.fi', 'bigForth.fi' and
'xbigForth.fi' ?

    3/- How can I rebuild the loader. I use the Bourne script 'makewin.bsh'
and
        'makeload.bsh' under Cygwin shell

$ sh makeload.bsh

        4/- And gcc directly under Windows console:

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.
