     FigForth is not an implementation for the C64. FigForth refers the the
Forth standard defined by the Forth Interest Group in 1978 (as opposed to
Forth79, Forth83, etc.) It has nothing to do with the C64 or any other 
specific machine. The entire idea was to create a version of the language
which was not machine specific. There are at least 5 different implementations
of Forth that I know of the the C64, and only one is a version of Fig Forth
(the public domain CP/M version). I've used or seen most of the versions that
are available for the C64. If you'd like some specific info about one, send
me some mail.
