 DOS and OS/2 don't like . at begin of a file (.gforth-history). bernd 6sep95py  
   
   QUERY and TIB may behave differently than some may expect. TIB always
   points to the current SOURCE, and QUERY puts its result there.  anton

   open-path-file expands "./" into the sourcefilename. It should either
   not expand "./" or provide a mechanism that allows the application to
   determine what "./" should expand to. anton 16jun98
   
   gforth.el: Typing <ret> does not work when tabs separate words in a
   line, and there is a \-comment at the end of the line.  anton 19feb00
   
   SEE does not work when the control structure is too complex (e.g.,
   load http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/pentomino.fs and then do
   SEE NEXT-PIECE). anton 5mar2000
   
   Include cannot handle lines longer than 255 characters.  anton 4sep00
   
   Errors happening during a LOAD do not report the offending word and
   its context (e.g., the 64-byte line). anton 8sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine apparently does not work correctly for Infs and NaNs.
   Try "ac_cv_func_ecvt=no ./configure; make" and then in Gforth: "1e 0e
   f/ f. 0e 0e f/ f.". anton 25sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine does not round correctly, e.g., 0.25->0.3. Marcel
   Hendrix 3oct00 <8rdcmd$j96$1@news.IAEhv.nl>
   
   Newline has only LF (instead of CRLF) in DOS.  Bruce Hoyt 25oct2000
   <39f7b14b$2@clear.net.nz>
   
   F. does not print trailing zeroes (e.g., "10 SET-PRECISION 125e f.")
   anton 31may01
   
   Block 0 does not work as it should: "0 block drop update save-buffers"
   does not write to the blocks file.  "0 block 1024 dump" seems to give
   the previous contents of the buffer.  Travis Bemann 10jul2001
   <3b4b4f57$0$42883$272ea4a1@news.execpc.com>
   
   When accessing a block beyond the end of the block file, the result is
   filled with spaces (this is also documented).  However, when accessing
   a previously unwritten block before the end of the block file, we will
   get a block full of zeroes on most (all?) OSs.  This inconsistency
   should be eliminated and the documentation fixed.  anton 14jul2001
   
   Path handling may have a bug:
   strace $FORTH 'fpath= .|~+/gforth s" /home/anton/threading-variations/gforth/mach32b.fs" include gforth/kernel/main.fs bye'
   tries to open gforth/kernel/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, then
   gforth/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, but not gforth/kernel/aliases.fs.
   anton 3 sep 2001
   
   gforth-native does not deal correctly with inline arguments in static
   superinstructions: when using lit_lit, the wrong literals are put into
   the native code (probably due to wrong assumptions about argument
   offsets).
