Pistol: Portably Implemented Stack Oriented Language. It is a forth like language. Kind of useful, and amusing to play with. Another similar language is STOIC (sorry, I don't recall what it stands for). There are a number of Forths available for CP/M, but I don't know if any are implemented in C.

If you just want CPM Forth, there is definitely a very good F83 Forth available from SIGM. I can't remember the exact volume number - I think it's in the low 200's. It's not deluxe (no floating point, no full-screen debugger), but more than adequate to get to know the language and build upon, and quite quick. I used it to write a turtle graphics vocabulary for ascii terminals for my kids to play with. (Try writing sines and cosines without floating point :-). If you want more info, holler. /kenw
