On the desktop, there are four versions, gforth-fast, gforth, gforth-itc an=
d=20
gforth-ditc.

Providing all four on Android is possible (though the app then is larger). =
I=20
decided to give gforth-fast for those who want speed and gforth-itc for tho=
se=20
who want debugging; compared to gforth, gforth-itc allows the single steppi=
ng=20
debugger. gforth-ditc is for building images, probably not of much interest=
 on=20
Android.  gforth is significantly faster than gforth-itc, lacks the single=
=20
stepping debugger, and is primitive centric (gforth-itc turns that debugger=
=20
off).
