    1: \ chains.fs execution chains for gforth			21jun97jaw
    2: 
    3: 0 [IF]
    4: This defines execution chains.
    5: The first application for this is building initialization chains:
    6: Think of many modules or program parts, each of it with some specific
    7: initialization code. If we hardcode the initialization routines into a
    8: "master-init" we will get unflexible and are not able only to load some
    9: specific modules...
   10: 
   11: The chain is basicaly a linked-list. Define a Variable for the head of
   12: linked-list. Name it "foo8" or "foo-chain" to indicate it is a execution
   13: chain.
   14: 
   15: You can add a word to the list with "' my-init foo8 chained". You can
   16: execute all the code with "foo8 chainperform".
