I just looked at it too - it's pretty easy to rip all the I/O out.  In
fact, since it's PD, I've taken the liberty of simply ripping out any
#ifdefs I don't like and it's getting noticably smaller and more
manageable. :-) cforth needs an external dictionary file so I said
"bah" to that, BTW.  atl is self-contained by comparison and you could
lobotomize it pretty good and then rebuild just the parts you wanted.

I say beat the crap out of it. ;)
