Subject: Forths

I am a newcomer to Forth, but am rapidly getting hooked.  I am
looking for advice in two areas:

1) I need a good "professional" Forth system for the IBM PC, to use
as a general development environment.  Features such as full floating-
point and operating system support are important.  Any recommendations/
reviews would be greatly appreciated.

2) I need to bring up a Forth environment on a Motorola 68HC11 processor.
This is a neat new chip that integrates every feature anyone could want
in a one-chip processor.  It has a superset of the 6800 instruction set.
Any advice on available 6800 Forths, or on the shortest path to my
bringing one up would be great.

Thanks in advance.
