My usual reference searches have failed me, so I'm hoping someone
out there can help...

1. Does anyone know of a public-domain 8087 floating point package
   for the IBM PC?  (Any PC Forth dialect will do, F83 preferred.)

2. Does anyone know of any work in the public domain that allows a
   C language library to be linked with Forth code?  First preference
   would be something running under Forth, to load relocatable object
   files created in C.  Second choice would be something to create a
   relocatable object file from Forth source code, which can then be
   linked with (sigh) an "ordinary" linker.  The C in question is
   Microsoft C for the IBM PC, and, again, F83 is the preferred Forth.
