   Now you can check whether your shiny new Forth system works. Say

   To make the documentation, type
   
   make -k gforth.info gforth.ps html
   
   If everything is allright, you may want to install gforth. Type
   
   make install
   
   You may want to override the defaults for the directories. E.g., if
   you want to install in the /gnu hierarchy instead of in the default
   /usr/local hirarchy, say
   
   make install prefix=/gnu
   
   Alternatively, you can specify the prefixes with configure.
