[comp.lang.forth] VAX/VMS Forth?

Does anyone have a pointer to a Forth for VAX/VMS (5.x)?

FTP is fine?

Thanks,
	Mike

There is, of course, FIGFORTH for the VAX, and if you want to spend the
money, POLYforth.  The only thing with the FIGForth is that it was
written back in 1982 or so.  You can get that from FIG, or if you dig around,
somewhere on the nets.  The anon ftp list has cs.utah.edu (128.110.4.21)
as having some kind of Forth thing on it, but as our INTERNET feed is
feeling sick, I can't really check to see what's in it.  At one point in 
time I wrote the innards of a Forth interpreter in assembly for the VAX;
but it's missing a LOT of words and too many useful functions; I don't
think anyone would want THAT.
