Summary: 

Isn't the Mega-Frame a 680x0 machine?  If so, I have a 68000/68010
Forth system that runs on just about any 68000 Unix system.  It has
been successfully used on a number of such machines; Suns, Dual, Masscomp,
etc.  It is based on the public domain F83 system, but has been converted
to a full 32-bit implementation.  It uses normal Unix files instead of
BLOCKs, and interfaces well to Unix, including the ability to dynamically
load and execute Unix object files (like C subroutines for instance)
under Forth.

The whole distribution, including source code, meta compiler, utilities,
libraries, documentation, runs to about 1.5 MBytes, so it's a little large
to post unless there's lots of interest.  However, it is on the Sun
User Group contributed software tape, so some people may be able to get it
that way.

Another way to get it is to send me a tape and a postage-paid return
envelope.  If you want to go this route, reply to me via e-mail and
I'll tell you the address (unless there are lots of replies, in which
case I may post it to the net).
