* You can run this Forth with:

* However, I recommend loading a Forth program (frustration.fs, provided)
* However, I recommend loading a Forth program (frustration.4th, provided)
* which does a few more setup steps before letting you loose.

* cat frustration.4th - | ./frustration

* The line above is a good way to run Frustration if you're using Linux.
* It concatenates together frustration.fs and - (stdin). This means you
* can type commands once frustration.fs is loaded.
* It concatenates together frustration.4th and - (stdin). This means you
* can type commands once frustration.4th has been executed.
*
* There is a shell script supplied that will do all of the above for you.
*
* bash build.sh
*
* Please read frustration.4th if you want to learn more about Forth and what
* makes it a unique language.
