   I've gotten good FORTH stuff from:

   Mountain View Press
   PO Box 4656
   Mountain View, CA  94040
   (415) 961-4103

   They've got production compilers (price varies), FIG (FORTH Intereset Group)
   implementations (about $15), along with an assortment of manuals, guides
   and documents.

   A friend of mine has a trick FORTH for Apples including a symbolic (a little
   guy on the screen moving registers and memory pictures) debugger. Respond
   via mail if interested, and I'll get you in touch with him.

   Hope this helps.
