Base 36? What are you doing? Exploring Mayan ruins or something? :)

Mmmm.. It can count. In a manner of speaking.

The problem is probably that digits beyond hex have not properly been
defined in the kernel to work.

So...

80386 ciforth 4.0.6
17 BASE !
 OK
10 1 - .
G  OK
DECIMAL 36 BASE !
 OK
10 1 - .
Z  OK
1Z 1+ .
20  OK
20 Z * .
20 Z ? ciforth ERROR # 12 : NOT
RECOGNIZED
20 G .
20 G ? ciforth ERROR # 12 : NOT
RECOGNIZED
G.
G.? ciforth ERROR # 12 : NOT
RECOGNIZED
G
G? ciforth ERROR # 12 : NOT
RECOGNIZED

I'm guessing that it's probably a trivial matter to fix the kernel
source to take in these letters, just follow what's been done for base
16. May take a look after fixing some other things like SAVE-SYSTEM
and ensuring everything else works.

For now, all your base > 16 are NOT belong to us...
