I am seeking a fig-FORTH or FORTH-79 which runs under
4.1bsd.

William Sebok of the Princeton Observatory at one time
stated that he had written such an item, but I have been
unable to contact him, and so have brought my quest to
the net.

Would anyone having knowledge of/willing to part with
a version of FORTH running under UNIX (tm) contact
me, please.  I have a hardcopy of the fig source, and will
go that route if necessary would prefer exhausting
other possibilities prior to commencing the typing.

Thanks very much

We have a version of forth here which I believe is public domain,
provided by Kitt Peak National Observatory.  I suggest contacting
them about it.  It was originally written for VMS systems, but
the distribution we have includes unix versions of files where
needed.

I haven't used it much, but certain things (I don't remember what, I
haven't used it for months) seem to cause it to crash.  Also, I'm
not familiar enough with FORTH to say how compatible it is with the
versions you want.

You should be able to reach the observatory at seismo!kpno!person, but
I don't know of someone to contact there.  If you can't contact someone
at Kitt Peak, let me know and I'll try to find help.
