When I think of increased portability, Forth isn't something that comes to
mind - at least in the 'free' Forth realm. For example, it doesn't seem that
Pocket Forth (for the Mac) is compatible with Win32Forth (for Windows). I
haven't seen a BeForth.

Welcome news to me - when I used to code in PolyForth, we were restricted to
64K of static memory.
