I recently installed fig-Forth on a public access VAXstation 4000 that I
help operate, and just finished rewriting a collection of words for
converting US customary and SI units for Forth calculator mode.

It was a chance for me to learn some new Forth tricks while
retro-computing in fig-Forth.

E-mail me if you're interested in logging-on to the VAX.
