Here's the README file for "vforth," the source of which I just posted to
net.sources.

>> What follows is a 32-bit forth. In general, it is based on the FIG
>> model, but it deviates where necessity or religion demanded. It will
>> run on a VAX running 4.2, and tends to use the UNIX system calls in only
>> the most generic of ways (read: should move to 4.1 without problems).
>> It uses subroutine threading and in-line code generation to "up" the
>> speed; this is explained in the accompanying documentation.
>>
>> It has been used to implement a 3D viewing system, which runs
>> rather nicely; if you're interested in such a thing, send me mail;
>> if I get enough queries, I'll post it to net.sources--otherwise, I'll
>> send it direct.

>> Thanks much to Prentiss Riddle for posting this to me! Please
>> direct all questions to me, not him! We can't post to notes from here,
>> but net mail works fine.
