I have a c64 computer, and I am interested in learning Forth and/or
related threaded languages.  I have considered coding one from scratch
using the excellent book "Threaded interpretive languages : their
design and implementation" by R. G. Loeliger as a guide.  The task
seems a little more time consumming than I'm prepared to follow
through with.  Additionally I would like to start with a kernel that
is pretty standard Forth -- I'm not sure I could duplicate one even
looking at a standards guide.  I know that a lot of companies have
sold versions of Forth for the c64 computer, but I really want
something that is PD, preferably with assembly source included -- I
want to be able to analyze and change the code as part of the learning
experience.

Please send me e-mail if you know how I could obtain such a code.  If
there isn't a c64 specific code, I would also be glad to know if there
is an apple II, atari, or other 6502 version available.  I think I
could probably adapt it to work on a c64 if I had assembly source.

	Thanks,
