Yes, it does ring a bell, and I believe it's avaliable.  I've seen it on
various bulletin boards (The East Coast Forth Board, which from what I've
heard is now defunct), and I think (?) you can get an F-83 implementation
from the Forth INterest Group.  I think even I have a copy somewhere, but
its for F83 with no documentation, and it's in an old pile of floppy disks
for the IBM-PC.  If I remember correctly, FORPS stood for something like
Forth Production System.
