------------------------------------------------------
The 2009 versions of colorforth have some
token differences, editor differences,
boot code differences, and color differences
than the 2008 version released to the
public.
<snipped>
tokens were changed, a second font was
added, new colors were added, compressed
floppy format was added, and blue words
were added and made more robust. Those
are some of the changes since the last
public release in April of 2008.

maybe this merits some discussion

especially, since forth day is coming
up later this month, i guess the
'maturing' of colorForth and
OKAssistedDrawing (OKAD)
deserve an indepth and
comprehensive talk as also
the possibilities of its patron
chip the GA40 & Haypress2

the only thing i find odd is the continuing
presence of 'floppy' based booting, saving,
etc

i guess discontinuance of floppy drive,
cd-drive, serial/parallel ports have become
a ground reality which needs booting from
usb pendrive to be stabilized

usb can be used to boot dos, probably
colorForth can be fired up from such a
usb drive and then saved on the usb
so that next time the booting is in colorForth

until then, loading the cf from winXp to
tinker around will have to suffice
