I have a friend doing experiment control / data acquisition with an
apple II but finds basic too slow (big surprise).

What are some forths for the apple and their pros/cons/prices.
Or alternatively a compiler for basic.

	Thanks

You can get documentation and/or source code for a Forth 79 implementation
from Mountain View Press.  If money is tight, you can buy a listing of 
the source and type it in by hand.  Alternatively, you can also get the code
on disk.  The Mountain View Press code has been released into the public domain
so there are no problems with copying, selling or whatever you want to do.

They advertise regularly in Byte among other places.  Prices run in the $20
area.

   I've gotten good FORTH stuff from:

   Mountain View Press
   PO Box 4656
   Mountain View, CA  94040
   (415) 961-4103

   They've got production compilers (price varies), FIG (FORTH Intereset Group)
   implementations (about $15), along with an assortment of manuals, guides
   and documents.

   A friend of mine has a trick FORTH for Apples including a symbolic (a little
   guy on the screen moving registers and memory pictures) debugger. Respond
   via mail if interested, and I'll get you in touch with him.

   Hope this helps.
