Basically, I got interested in Befunge93, and I found various
interpreters (including default C one, which DJGPP happily accepts).
One set was from a Ruby contest, and I knew 1.8.x supported DJGPP, so
I decided to try compiling Ruby itself. Once I found out the -O2 and -
Os difference, I thought it was worth mentioning here (honestly I
doubt comp.lang.ruby cares, most people are anti-DOS snobs). Then I
personally was playing with Ruby a bit, especially for ETA, and the
two examples were just meant to prove "hey, DJGPP works, Ruby works,
ETA works". (The main ETA distribution includes C and Perl versions,
both of which work with DJGPP also.) So it's more of a bug report /
success story / example code combo.    :-)

P.S. The only esoteric interpreters in Forth I know of are Brainf***,
and while I like that too, it's not my main interest. (Too bad Google
Groups' archives seems very incomplete these days, dunno why.)
