I am seeking a fig-FORTH or FORTH-79 which runs under 4.1bsd. William Sebok of the Princeton Observatory at one time stated that he had written such an item, but I have been unable to contact him, and so have brought my quest to the net. Would anyone having knowledge of/willing to part with a version of FORTH running under UNIX (tm) contact me, please. I have a hardcopy of the fig source, and will go that route if necessary would prefer exhausting other possibilities prior to commencing the typing. Thanks very much Larry Huntley Burroughs Corporation ASG 10850 Via Frontera MS-703 San Diego, CA 92128 (619) 451-4702

We have a version of forth here which I believe is public domain, provided by Kitt Peak National Observatory. I suggest contacting them about it. It was originally written for VMS systems, but the distribution we have includes unix versions of files where needed. I haven't used it much, but certain things (I don't remember what, I haven't used it for months) seem to cause it to crash. Also, I'm not familiar enough with FORTH to say how compatible it is with the versions you want. You should be able to reach the observatory at seismo!kpno!person, but I don't know of someone to contact there. If you can't contact someone at Kitt Peak, let me know and I'll try to find help. --Jim O'Toole
