I'm looking at eforth, planning to convert it for a 68000 based machine,
and notice that the PC version uses separate code and name stacks. I know
that F-PC uses a similar system to get round the chip's 64k segment
limitations, but this eforth is contained in one segment, so I can't really
see any advantage in this system. This has probably been debated here before,
so I would appreciate it if somebody could explain it to me.
Also, for anyone who knows, is this arrangement part of the eforth spec. ?
I would rather have the word's head and body contiguous, making for a simpler
memory map if it's up to the individual implementor.
Thanks for any help,

I originally posted this on August 15th, but didn't see any replies
or even an echo of the note. Could someone please confirm if this makes
it to the list?
Thanks.
