Does anyone know of a Forth implementation for OS9/6809 computers? I checked
out file 130-- its a partial version of Forth that I have alreadly  (It only
covers chapters 1-6 of Starting Forth.)  I would like to get into programming
in Forth, but I need one that will work on my system.  Any suggestions?  My
system uses Level 1 OS9, 64k ram with a MC6809E CPU.

OS9/6809?  Is the CoCo one of those?  I think it's the 6809 that's Forth-
friendly because of 2 h/w stacks.  The last few chapters of Starting Forth are
harder for concepts than for coding (does that mean anything).  Are you ready
to try the extensions yourself?  I'm curious; how hard would an assembler be? 
It took teaching myself 8085 m/l to be ready to turn on to Forth.

Yes, the CoCo *IS* a os9/6809 machine!   I was working on a OS9 implementation
of the 83 standard when I needed to tear some of my hardware off to get a PC up
 and running...   :-|
