 I have used the LMI metatcompiler with the 8051 with no problems.
 Obviously, changes have to be made to the Forth source to match the
 target hardware, but after that it's a breeze. One negagtive comment:
 The internals of the 8051 forth implementation are not documented as
 well as they could be, so you might find yourself talking to Ray Duncan
 and his staff if you need help. But, the tech support is good (although
 available only via fax and bbs), and you shouldn't run into too many
 problems. Good Luck!
