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

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.) Mitch Bradley
