I have been introducted to Forth by my new boss. I have gone through
_Starting Forth_ by Brodie using F83 on an IBM AT. Now that I am ready to
doing some real work with Forth, I need a Forth that runs under UNIX, System
V. I would prefer an implementation of F83. Is there such a Forth? If so,
where can I find it? How much does it cost?
Thanks in advance.

It is F83-like, but F83 is 16 bits for microcomputers. CFORTH, written in C for portability ( he also sells SUNFORTH, written in assembler, for Suns, much faster) is 32-bit JSR Threaded. Forth, you will remember, is a "virtual machine" and CFORTH is perhaps a bit more remote emulation of the ideal Forth engine than F83, but very complete and fun to use in Unix environment, complete with system calls, etc. >How much does it cost? $50 w/source & manual {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {} {} {} jax@well ."

All I had was the code of a 8 bit fig-FORTH implementation to start with (that is, the binary).
