Actually, I expect that it would not be too difficult to write a Forth
interpreter in LISP. I doubt that it would run fast, and I can't think
of any reasons why I might want to do it, but I don't think it would be
hard to write.

If all goes according to plan, you will get a chance to pass judgment
on this issue pretty soon!

You might try Jib Ray Forth. I don't know the address, but I can give
you enough clues that you should be able to track it down from there.
The main clue is the name "David Jaffe". He works, or at least used to
work, at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, CA (area code 415). I think
he lives in Palo Alto too.

Laziness can a good thing; why reinvent this particular wheel?
