Any differentiating aspect e.g. preparsed vs. ASCII text. Jeff Fox wrote a
nice post recently on clf breifly mentioning bootstraping and meta
compilation. I'm curious how different Forths aproached this aspect. I'd
like to implement meta-compilation in colorForth which does not seem
obvious to me.

Thanks for this information, I found descriptions of these different
methods through google. It is interesting to understand the different
methods even though my particular environment seems to imply native code.
