- There are versions of Forth that are designed to run on any Unix
- workstation. They are written in "C" for portability. For a "free" one,
- try TILE from the GNU collection of programs. Of course you will have
- to spend time instead of money compiling it and getting it to work.
- For a commercial Forth that runs on SPARCstations, try Sun Forth or
- C Forth from Bradley Forthware, P. O. Box 4444, Mountain View, CA 94040.
- It is similar to the boot prom on SPARCstations (same author) but it
- will do a lot more than just boot or debug your computer.
