I didn't want to post that info here, because it is somewhat off-topic. I was mostly interested in referrals for a FORTH compiler for OSX.
I don't have the output here (at work), but basically, several of the ./configure steps reported warnings that should be reported to Gnu (which I did). I then- tried to run make (just to see how far it would get), which failed very early on, for hard errors (as opposed to warnings). I will post the output of the configure step when I get home tonight (sometime after 7PM PST). Thanks Tony On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 12:13 PM, Mark J.
