71B Forth follow as much as possible the 1979 standard, so cell words are not implemented here.
Also, I am not a Saturn specialist here, but to my knowledge, word, ahum, nibble alignment is not an issue with the 71B processor.

Fine. But.
I have a program in gforth and want to translate in Forth71B. It means I should define the equivalent of CELLS.

Example my Forth71B wording for the gforth D= is
: D= 2OVER 2OVER D< IF 2DROP 2DROP FALSE ELSE 2SWAP D< IF FALSE ELSE TRUE THEN THEN ;
: D= ( d d -- ?) ROT = ROT ROT = AND ;

or another one..
: >= 2DUP = IF = ELSE SWAP < THEN ;

or another one.. (more to come the next weeks/months)
: CHAR ASC ;
