  But that's exactly what FORTH for the PIC is - an alternative to STAMP
basic.  It's always going to be interpreted, always from external serial
RAM unless you use a "high-end" chip with oodles of RAM or an external
bus, in which case you're just as well off to use a native FORTH MCU
like a 68HC11.
