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.

So thanks for that!

I found the source for fig-Forth itself and the CIFIG extensions very educational. -- David Meyer Takarazuka, Japan papa@sdf.org
