  I am currently working on a FORTH simulation in C for personal use. 
The main difficulty so far is using direct memory access and management.  The
more I write, the more I realize I should have used assembly language.
As is, I probably won't be able to push bytes, words, and doubles on the
same stack and still have a decent speed.  Since UNIX has little
assembly language support, I am stuck writing an inferior version.  
  It will still be a while before I am done and will be mainly used to
try out FORTH programs that I run across in magazines or at conferences.
If there is a decent version somewhere out there I would appreciate
comments and hints.
