So, ETA has:

1) two arithmetic operators: E and S
2) one stack operator: H
3) ability to input and output characters: O and I
4) two methods of adjusting control flow : T and A
5) ability to implement numbers: N


Let me _try_ to compare to FORTH, of which I'm no expert:

E
  /MOD SWAP
T
  0= IF EXECUTE ELSE THEN
A
  (I believe the equivalent FORTH functionality is part of the FORTH
interpreter.)
O
  EMIT
I
  KEY
N
  nnn
S
  -
H
  ROLL

You might try a post to comp.lang.forth, forwarding this, if interested.

PS.  Not real sure what this has to do with DJGPP...
