The most current version I have is written for JForth (I switched from Multi-Forth to JForth). I would be glad to send them to anyone interested, but I am unsure about how to best do that. I have never posted large files to any newsgroup. This code may need to be modified to run under non-JForth systems, so be ready for some of that.
