Now that sounds cool!

That page is hopelessly outdated. My current e-mail address is the one
where I'm sending this response.

At one point I was going to fix all of the links at gnupic.org. Then back
in November, James Bowman told me he had the 'source' for the web pages
(I'm not sure in what format). We lost touch for a couple of months and
when we made contact again, I didn't ask him for the source... Let me go
ahead and start on that.

From what I can tell, the compiler is written Forth as well. I don't know
Forth at all. Could you perhaps provide some sample pic programs written
in Forth?
