Well, I still have not decided upon what kind of hosting I'm going to get to run gforth with, but in the mean time, I decided to install it on my windows machine so that I could refer to a live system while perusing Jason Woof's gforthcgi stuff.
I grabbed this gforth-0.7.0-20090215.exe 15-Feb-2009 23:55 5.7M Win32 self installing from http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Snapshots/ and installed it on a Vista machine. I went into the folder with all of the .exe files, and tried to run each of them. gforth.exe - window pops up briefly and then vanishes gforth-ditc.exe - window pops up briefly and then vanishes gforth-fast.exe - window pops up briefly and then vanishes gforth-itc.exe - window pops up briefly and then vanishes sh.exe - I get a window that does not vanish, but this is not a Forth prompt for sure -- I looked at the include .pdf file but did not see anything on making a Forth command 'ok' prompt show up although the word BYE was mentioned. there is a section, 2.3 Command-line editing, which would mean that there is a way to get to a command line. I don't know what that is. Jason
