Is there a reference to Forth-83 available somewhere which is machine
readable?  

Thanks

As part of the documentation for my 68000 Unix Forth system (mentioned
in a previous posting), I typed-in much of the glossary portion of
the Forth 83 Standard reference manual.  What a pain!

I changed a very few things so they would accurately describe my
implementation, but by and large it's the 83 Standard verbatim.
Should I post it?  It's about 100K.

(What did I change?  Well, my system is a 32 bit Forth, so the references
to stack items being 32 bits were changed to leave the stack width as
an implementation-dependent parameter.  That's about it.)
