a personal, minimalistic forth
## Background
RETRO is a Forth dialect drawing influences from many sources. It uses
some, but not all of Chuck Moore's newer ideas. It's clean, elegant,
and tiny. It may not have many features, and it may not be particularly
useful by itself, but it's easy to grasp and easily adapted to various
uses.

environment. It is a fresh start and is not compatible with the
previous generation.
## Quick Start
For FreeBSD, macOS, Linux:
make
cd bin && ./listener
