    The random.fs that comes with gforth-0.7.3 works with gforth-0.7.3.
    It seems that you try to use a more recent random.fs with
    gforth-0.7.3.

    Concerning your question, NTIME is a primitive, and you can find its
    source code in prim. But it is somewhat involved to add it to
    gforth-0.7.3. You might just as well just install a recent snapshot,
    which includes NTIME.

    Hi, does anyone know where the source of the gforth words are at in the repository. I'm finding that some of the supplied extensions don't seem to work. I started with random.fs... I've not been successful in compiling any of the provided examples
    because of missing words dependencies.

    Thanks.
