I'd like to find out if ANYBODY out there is running FORTH on a
Commodore 64:
If you have obtained a FORTH for the Commodore 64 would you please drop
me a line and tell me (1) which one it is (who the vendor is, and is it
figFORTH, 79-Standard, or what?); (2) your evaluation of it; (3) does
it come on tape, disk or cartridge; (4) what is the price?
I've called HES (they made the VIC-FORTH cartridge) and they say their
64-FORTH will be ready by the end of September - but they told me in
June that it would be ready by July.
Thank you very muchly,
Keith Ericson

Uses ~ 16k I have no connection with the company, but I am interested in getting a FORTH for my C-64, and received this pamphlet. If anyone has actually *used* it, I would be very interested in hearing what they think of it (or any other implementions, for that matter) Neil Rhodes decvax!linus!genrad!wjh12!n44a!hscfvax!neil
