Wow!  Thanks for posting that.  It's around 30 KLOC of code, a lot of it
in assembler.  Both the Forth and assembler parts are impressive and
well-commented.  Do you know if there's a way to run the program on a
modern computer, e.g. using a 68k emulator?  The original hardware
used a 5 mhz 68000 with 256k of ram, so emulation should be feasible.
