I also work with FORTH on the Commodore 64 and currently
use a public domain system called BLAZIN' FORTH written
by Scott Balantyne--it is comprehensive and very fast.
The disk is accessed by blocks rather than files--the 83
standard is followed quite closely but there are plenty
of built in words to provide turtle graphics, SID control
and new string handling words.  The program is available
on both Q-Link and compuserve--terrific package!
