 Great work!

 are you or is anyone tracking down the seminal FORTH implementations
 and creating a repository for preservation?

  I'm not signing up for this, but CHM did just get a rather large donation
 of
 FORTH docs and a couple of the LSI FORTH boxes, to go along with about
 three
 boxes of docs that I bought at the last west coast VCF.

My introduction to Forth was being a member of the IEEE-1275 Open Firmware
committee. I was more than a little surprised at my first meeting when the
chairman, Mitch Bradley, started singing the Open Firmware
Song<http://www.openfirmware.org/ofwg/misc/ofwsong.au>
