Here are some status updates and a few questions.

Finished:

* The bugs in the compiler have been fixed and it now works perfectly on 
larger files without the need for special hacks
* .version has been added
* execute has been added
* Some fixes to the makefiles

In Progress:

* Documentation updates (and new formats)

Questions:

* Should the interpreter stop executing when it encounters an unknown 
word, or report the error and continue?
* What form should version# take? (being discussed)
* Should ." be useable inside a definition?
* Are there any other words that you think should be in the core? Or 
removed from it?
* I'm thinking of using this mailing list for future discussions 
concerning RetroForth's development (status updates will be posted to 
the forum, discussion will not). Is this a good idea or not?
