Why did you feel the need to post that?  I apologize if I did not
include the term "open source".  I guess I just assumed that it would
be understood that was what I meant and that everyone already knew
that both Forth Inc and MPE have forths for the ARM CPUs.  

BTW, you did not finish the old saw, "You get what you pay for, *if
you are lucky*."  I don't think open source tools are naturally
inferior.  After all, much of the GNU tools are very good and widely
used.  But many of the open source Forth tools seem to be very buggy
and of limited application.  In particular, I have not found anything
useful for embedded development in Forth.  

So you may be getting a check from me at some point soon.  I have my
assembler nearly done.  That was one requirement for porting to a new
CPU I recall.
