	It is F83-like, but F83 is 16 bits for microcomputers. CFORTH,
written in C for portability ( he also sells SUNFORTH, written in assembler,
for Suns, much faster) is 32-bit JSR Threaded. Forth, you will remember, is a 
"virtual machine" and CFORTH is perhaps a bit more remote emulation of
the ideal Forth engine than F83, but very complete and fun to use in
Unix environment, complete with system calls, etc.
