There is a commercial FORTH for transputers and for the AT&T DSP32 & 16.

The AT&T DSP32 FORTH is from Micro K Systems (303) 693-3413

It's pretty complete with bundled & integrated MATH & DSP C libraries,
which are the standard AT&T libraries.

I beleive their product is one of the highest performance/price
systems out because the FORTH is a tenth the C Compiler price and
the AT&T chips only trail TI in price ( small dif ) and match or
beat performance per mhz.

Can you make any comment regarding your port and use/suitability of FORTH
for DSP rapid prototyping/product developement?
