Forth "Old Style' Code - John Rible
"I've recently put some code up in a Forth Facebook group, as an alternative 'style' to Paul Bennett's recent post. I ended a series of quickly-coded replies with the other attachment. My first post included the log of my less-than-an-hour word by word code-and-test of the same problem."

"I'd like to go through my 'discovery' process of coding, as each idea made the code easier to understand, faster or smaller, or more general, and 'explain' why I like this style. I'll have a different file of my code to hand out as well as Paul's, so please don't circulate the code I've sent - it'll be confusing because they'll be ALMOST the same."
