First, apologies for the duplicate of my article being posted.

Second,
  Does anyone know of the availability of a FORTH emulator or actual interpreter
on any machine at IH?  How about APL?
  Any info on APL for Color Computers or 6809 in general?  How's it work?
Tolerably?  How does execution time vary?  With respect to (ugh) BASIC?

Also, has anyone run any benchmarks or even had a chance to run at all both
the CoCo and IBM PC with similar software.  I'd be interested in a comparison
considering an IBM rep told me that the PC devotes almost 40K to its interpreter(probably lots of PC-DOS code, though).
