- After we've loaded the high part of the core words, we're at
- the "wrapping up" part. We add what we call a "hook word" (an
- empty word with a single letter name) which doesn't cost us
- much and can be very useful if we need to augment the binary
- with more words, and at that point we have our future boot
- CURRENT, which PC yields. That is why we write it to the
- LATEST field of the stable ABI: This value will be used at
- boot.
-
- After the last word of the dictionary comes the "source init"
- part. The boot sequence is designed to interpret whatever comes
- after LATEST as Forth source, and this, until it reads ASCII
- EOT character (4). This is generally used for driver init.
-
- Good luck!
