	Yes indeedee! Oct 1982 was when FORTH Dimensions magazine,
the bi-monthly publication of the Forth Interest Group ( PO BOX 8231,
San Jose, CA 95155 ) first published a VAX assembly listing for FIG
Forth ... it's currently available from their library of source code
listings for $15 in the U.S., item #527 in their catalog at the above
address.

	If Forth 83 is more yer bag, Dr. C.H. Ting has implemented
Forth 83 on Vaxen and published the source for the primitives in
his _Forth Notebook, Vol. 2_, Offete Press, 1306 South B Street,
San Mateo CA 94402 ( $25 ?)

	VAX assembly source for FIG Forth can be downloaded from
the East Coast Forth Board, 703 442-8695 300/1200/2400 24 hrs
under the title VAXFORTH.ARC

	Join your local Forth Interest Group and you won't have
to ask these things one *USENET*! Sheesh ... :-)
