So far my MacForth things run under Rosetta without problems.
Slower than it would run native on Intel of course, but that's only
apparent in benchmarks, not in my applications.

Not much, but:
MacForth shared library, not that I know of (wish list).
PowerMops allows to make shared libraries, never done it though.
PM runs ok under Rosetta last time I checked.
Following this path , means ****ting MF code to PM of course, which is
do-able (I think).
