   With regard to Orlando Sprockel's request for VM/SP FORTHs, I wrote
a FORTH-79 interpreter for an independent study with Prof. Richard
Larson in early 1986. It is not quite a complete FORTH, but has a
crude line-editor and a full-blown full-screen editor for IBM 3270
graphics devices. It differs from the FORTH-79 standard in that it
implements 32-bit arithmetic, and hence has no double-word arithmetic
words. It's also based on the EBCDIC character code rather than ASCII.
   I'm between versions right now, so I don't have a copy that I could
forward in the near future, but perhaps in a couple months. I'm also
curious what other VM FORTHs are out there, if any.
