I've forwarded your message to the list, and fixed your top-posting by 
moving your response to the bottom.  I don't have a clue what "quad" is, 
unless it's a synonym for Forth.

You haven't specified the OS you'll be using to run the compiler, nor 
the one you're targeting, so some of these choices may not be useful.  
For example, the first one is Linux only.
