I have a pamphlet for "C-64 FORTH" from :
	Performance Micro Products
	770 Dedham Street=S2
	Canton, MA  02021

They charge $99.95 and below are some of the claims made for it:

	FIG-FORTH and FORTH-79 standard compatibility 
	extensions for double-precision(32 bit) integer functions and file i-o

	macro assembler with source

	trace feature for single-step debugging

	access to BASIC data files
	144-page manual

	'SAVETURNKEY" command allows applicatoin program distribution without 
	licensing or royalties

	One version which works on  both cassete, and vic 154[01] disk drives.

	Uses ~ 16k


I have no connection with the company, but I am interested in getting a FORTH
for my C-64, and received this pamphlet.  If anyone has actually *used* it,
I would be very interested in hearing what they think of it (or any other
implementions, for that matter)
