Are there PD implementations of Forth for mainframes?  The two I am most 
intersted in are VM/CMS versions and VAX/VMS.  If there is an implementation 
for MVS I'd be interested in hearing about that as well.  

If these are not available can anyone tell me where to get the assembly 
language code for an MS-DOS based Forth?

Thanks, 
Charles

	There's the old stand-by F83, which I have the source code for.  I 
don't have the time to upload the source code, but if you send me some disks,
I'll copy it for you.  My address is:
				Walt Pohl
				Haverford College
				Haverford PA 19041

	Include a self addressed, stamped envelope, with enough postage.

	An alternative is to contact the Forth Interest Group.  They have 
public domain versions of Forth for most major chips.

	Yes indeedee! Oct 1982 was when FORTH Dimensions magazine,
the bi-monthly publication of the Forth Interest Group ( PO BOX 8231,
San Jose, CA 95155 ) first published a VAX assembly listing for FIG
Forth ... it's currently available from their library of source code
listings for $15 in the U.S., item #527 in their catalog at the above
address.

	If Forth 83 is more yer bag, Dr. C.H. Ting has implemented
Forth 83 on Vaxen and published the source for the primitives in
his _Forth Notebook, Vol. 2_, Offete Press, 1306 South B Street,
San Mateo CA 94402 ( $25 ?)

	VAX assembly source for FIG Forth can be downloaded from
the East Coast Forth Board, 703 442-8695 300/1200/2400 24 hrs
under the title VAXFORTH.ARC

	Join your local Forth Interest Group and you won't have
to ask these things one *USENET*! Sheesh ... :-)
