Well you had the guts. So now you got some Glory.
That's the command line application (CLI) There is also another
application which creates a window and a little currency calculator.
It is in the other folder called GUI. This uses the OspreyForth
system to call Apple Cocoa methods in a peculiar object oriented
syntax but it does work. I have been wondering how hard it would be
to wake up the Forth interpreter (like the CLI app) in an OS X
Window. Haven't had to time to focus on it.
