Actually I have. Great idea. It would seem all that differs is the
calling convention (registers in linux nd stack in BSD/OSX).

I can't figure it out at the moment, the forth code looks good, the
syscall hooks look good, but for now the OSX version doesn't call up
and execute the shell (I refer to the word SYSTEM). I'm sure there's
something blindingly obvious I'm missing but I'll get there :)

True. I guess if this ****ts over to OSX, it'll probably mean just a
similar ****t over to BSD.
