Hi all,
I have a couple of questions about OpenFirmware but there hasn't been any activity on the mailing list (http://www.openfirmware.info/pipermail/openfirmware/) in quite some time so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm having trouble seeing how the whole thing is bootstrapped.
For instance 
1. there's a builder.dic binary file that's used by the forth implementation and I don't see how that is built, 
2. I can't see the code that actually parses the Forth code and converts it to assembly.

Thanks!
