   The Forth-94 world moved solidly behind symmetric after the Forth-83 misstep.   
   Win32Forth continued with floored and even there it was planned to go symmetric   
   in support of Forth having a consistent division method.   
      
   But as you say, the world moves on.  Gforth hasn't had a Windows release for   
   5 years.  One could just as easily conclude no complaints in today's world   
   means no interest.
