Another Forth system for the Apple //e and //c is distributed by Unified
Software Systems.  There are two versions, both operate under ProDOS only.

The Uniforth Apple Professional Software Development System is a complete,
commercial system, including 500+ pages of documentation, software floating
point with a separate floating point stack, full-screen block editor, strings
using a separate string stack, decompiler, debugger, hi-res and low-res
plotting, Forth words for all ProDOS calls, and more.  All source code, except
the kernel, is provided.

The Professional uses all available memory by storing the kernel in the
alternate memory at $D000, headers in the alternate 48K memory, and code
and data in the main 48K memory.  List price around $175.

The Uniforth Apple Sampler is a freely-redistributable, and less powerful,
version of the Professional.  It uses only the main 48K memory bank, has
somewhat less optimized floating point routines, and a full screen editor.
The Sampler is available for downloading on the GEnie Forth Round Table
and the East Coast Forth Board.

Since I am the author of both software packages I shouldn't to go into
the features any further here.  E-mail me if you want more details, or you can
