A UUENCODED STSQUEEZED Public Domain FORTH in four parts has been
posted to net.sources. You need to reassemble the four pieces in order
(e.g. cat for1 for2 for3 for4 > forth) then UUDECODE then use the
ST unsqueezer.

Woops...it appears that something adds lines at the beginning and end
of each transmitted file. therefore, you must strip away the added lines
after concatenating (it is best to do it then since it is easy to search
for the added lines (they are very distinctive) and when you get it all
fixed you will know it - if you strip away the lines before concatenating
you might get an extra newline character or you might be minus a newline
character when you concatenate (of course you can go in later to check this
but then you don't have a good way of finding precisely where the files
were joined))

I just took all four parts of PDFORTH from net.sources, cated them,
applied emacs to take out the extra lines, UUDECODED the result,
downloaded to my ST and ST UNSQUEEZED. Believe it or not - it worked.

I did have one minor problem, though - I couldn't get the unsqueezer
to work in the RAMDISK. But, running it from drive A succeeded (with
the file pdforth.tqs on the ramdisk).
