RAM disk and tapes were a big limitation, indeed, and microdrives were
the only alternative at the time.

In order to write an improved remake of a program I wrote for Abersoft
Forth in 1985, I've written a library for it that makes it work on the
Spectrum 128 and with the +D disk interface, among other improvements
that make it more comfortable and powerful. I will publish it soon.

I've been in touch with Lennart Benschop since I discovered his Spectrum
Forth-83 some years ago, in order to make it more visible in the
Spectrum retro-scene, because it was totally unknown. He recently
translated the manual to English.

By the way, I sent you an email one month ago (to the address you use
here, because Lennart didn't have it, and I didn't find one on your web
or in the documenation of CH Forth), but I guess the message was
filtered out and never reached you. I wanted to inform you about two
modified versions of your Z80 assembler I have written, and ask you
details about the Forth you wrote it for and when. Do you have other
contact email?  You can find mine on the contact page of my website.
