64-bit-ext

description:

an openboot draft from 1995 specified a set of words
for 64-bit arithmetics. These words would be actually
redefinitions of the doublecell words in 32-bit forth
systems, but doublecell may be 32-bit on 16-bit forth
systems. This "proposed standard" uses an "X"-modifier
in the place of the "D"-modifier for 64-bit-number
words.

fcode:

the actual implementation can be looked up in the
published draft document. Here are the words that
have been reserved for that usage.

bxjoin <l@ rx@ rx! wxjoin x, x@ x! /x /x*
xa+ xa1+ xbflip xbflips xbsplit xlflip xlflips
xlsplit xwsplit xwflip xwflips xwsplit

these are just to be used as interface words, a
simple forth that does not access hardware will
hardly find a use for them. Otherwise these words
should be treated as reserved by implementations.
