As is well known you can run scripts by lina/wina/ciforth

This is a script:

------------ 8< ----- hello.sh ------------------
#!./lina -s
"hello world" CR
------------ 8< -----------------------
chmod +x hello.sh
`` hello.sh '' invokes this script.

------------ 8< ----- withfp.sh --------------
#!./lina -s
WANT -fpwa- SAVE-SYSTEM
"lina+fp" SAVE-SYSTEM
------------ 8< ------------------------------
chmod +x withfp.sh

This generates a `` lina+fp '' with all the floating point facilities
available. We use -fpwa- instead of -fp-. The assembler that is needed
is loaded in a temporary buffer and discarded before the SAVE-SYSTEM.

lina+fp is a full blown Forth that interprets all options:

------------ 8< ----- sqrt.sh --------------
#!./lina+fp -s
1 ARG[] EVALUATE FSQRT FS. CR
------------ 8< ----- sqrt.sh --------------
chmod +x sqrt.sh

~/PROJECT/ciforths: sqrt.sh 2.0E0
SCRIPT-NAME : ISN'T UNIQUE
BY-WHO : ISN'T UNIQUE
MY-ERROR : ISN'T UNIQUE
1.414213562373095048E0

You see that the script-facility is loaded again.
If the UNIQUE message bothers you, you can add:

------------ 8< ----- withfp.sh --------------
#!./lina -s
WANT -fpwa- SAVE-SYSTEM
'SCRIPT-NAME HIDDEN
'BY-WHO HIDDEN
'MY-ERROR HIDDEN
"lina+fp" SAVE-SYSTEM
------------ 8< ------------------------------
chmod +x withfp.sh

The -c option generates elf executables as usual:
------------ 8< --- sqrt.frt -----------------
: main 1 ARG[] EVALUATE FSQRT FS. CR ;
------------ 8< ------------------------------

~/PROJECT/ciforths: lina+fp -c sqrt.frt
~/PROJECT/ciforths: sqrt 2.0E
1.414213562373095048E0

You probably don't trade your favorite forth for ciforth, but
maybe you feel inspired.
