Re: QUIT and ABORT

Yes, -1 and -2 are special cases in 9.6.1.2275 (when there is no user
exception frame). But for those cases it *only* specifies what message
shall be displayed, and *nothing more*.

BTW, for several decades Gforth did not comply with the standard
requirement not to print anything on ABORTing:

Gforth 0.7.3, Copyright (C) 1995-2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Gforth comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `license'
Type `bye' to exit
abort
:1: Aborted

abort<<<

Only after these decades somebody complained about that, and Gforth
was fixed to be standard-compliant in that respect, too.  But it seems
that hardly anybody cares about that deviation.
