Has anyone done a comparison of the various FORTH's available for the CA?
o  JForth is about $100 and claims blazing speed and says it will
run sieve in 10 sec.
o  Mach1 was suppose to be out in Sept., but haven't seen
anything yet -- However, they claim to run sieve in 2-3 sec. on a MAC.
o  Creative Solutions Forth is about $180 and I have seen some good words
in the reviews, but nothing on speed. 
o  UBZ Forth has been around awhile, but I have seen no reports.

Any comparisons/recommendations would be appreciated!!
