        !             2: 
        !             3: Support for upward-growing stacks (see "Stack growth direction" in the
        !             4:   manual)
        !             5: New macro in output: IMM_ARG.
        !             6: New input flag: include-skipped-insts (currently pointless).
        !             7: Lazy loading and eager storing of stack items in superinstructiuons;
        !             8:   this reduces register pressure (useful on 386), but causes compiler
        !             9:   warnings about unused variables.
        !            10: 
        !            11: 
        !            12: User-visible changes between 0.5.9-20020822 and 0.5.9-20020901:
        !            13: 
        !            14: The store optimization is now disabled by default, but can be enabled
        !            15: by the user.  Documentation for this optimization is also new.
        !            16: 
        !            17: 
        !            18: Use-visible changes between 0.5.9-20010501 and 0.5.9-20020822:
        !            19: 
        !            20: There is now a manual (in info, HTML, Postscript, or plain text format).
        !            21: 
        !            22: There is the vmgen-ex2 variant of the vmgen-ex example; the new
        !            23: variant uses a union type instead of lots of casting.
        !            24: 
        !            25: Both variants of the example can now be compiled with an ANSI C
        !            26: compiler (using switch dispatch and losing quite a bit of
        !            27: performance); tested with lcc.
        !            28: 
        !            29: There are several changes in the way you have to define macros (see
        !            30: node/section "Changes" in the manual).  I recommend keeping the
        !            31: gforth-0.5.9-20010501 version until you have completed the changes
        !            32: (note that you can have several versions of Gforth installed at the
        !            33: same time).
        !            34:
