You may want to try this one:
 https://www.forth.org/fig86new.zip
This is the one I'm tinkering with (just presently
I already heavily modified it) and its loops are
pretty standard, I believe (it's from 1982).

It started few years ago, when I was curious could
I make it assemble using MASM (it didn't want to...),
because it was prepared using some 'exotic' one, no
more available.
