 We have used several different routes to bring Forth up in the UNIX
 environment.  It's a fairly involved process, unless you just write the
 Forth in C, which is straightforward although the resulting performance
 is usually terrible (compared to Forth systems built in the "normal"
 way).  I suggest you just buy a copy of Mitch Bradley's FORTH for the
 Sun workstation.  I believe it comes with source code, and you'll save
 yourself a great deal of time and aggravation.
