OK, two questions.

1.  Your description included some buzzwords which could be
interpreted to indicate that you were talking about an
implementation of "forth" (such as "virtual machine", "byte
code", and "interpreter"), but nowhere did you explicitly say
that this was an implementation of forth.

2.  Since this is a group about programming in standard C, and
linking to other languages is outside the standard, why post it
here?

Although I could have put a ":)" in my post.
