simlutaneously in (tiled) windows on a ZX81, come the think of it it's
still quite a feat.
(I have Forth on just about every machine here, from Mac to PDP-11...)

The future was never like this!
I can combine
both of those :-) I have a ZX81 that runs Forth[1] from an

floating around my brain).

Unfortunately I have no way of reading the eprom to make a copy,
You mean this Forth doesn't include the C@ and C? words? It's seriously
broken if it doesn't! The former is the equivalent of Peek -- it's
