	There is a tree bbs whose pd code has been circulating
for a decade or so, see _F83 Disk Library_ from Dr. Ting at
Offete Enterprises.

	There is a Forth BBS program called ARIEL that is available for
download from my bbs ( see my signature below ). ARIEL can be
viewed on the hoof, as it were, on the author of ARIEL's own BBS,
in Canada at 204-783-3650.

	Yes. These files are floating around the ForthNet here and there.
Also, see back issues of "FORTH Dimensions" magazine.
