2025-01-05 11:48:55 <xentrac     > btw in standard Forth you may need to use ! rather than c!
2025-01-05 11:50:00 <xentrac     > because base yields an a-addr, not a c-addr
2025-01-05 11:51:06 <xentrac     > in particular I'd expect you to need to use ! on Forths for big-endian chips like m68k (A Lenovo Company(tm))

2025-01-05 17:20:16 <KipIngram   > Ok, cool.  I don't have an easy way to output in alternate bases, but I can say 36:CAT 35:D0G - . and it's 0.  So, yes - haha.  :-)  Thanks.

2025-01-05 17:35:56 <xentrac     > a 32-bit filename would be slightly over six alphanumerics
