where's colorforth for LINUX?

google lead me to sourceforge;
so I put the URL which didn't suggest being a binary,
in my list of <append fetched text to ColorForth:File>.
And it dumped a fat M$loth executable there!

ColoUr is efficient for providing an extra dimention for complex-problem
 solving.
We have evolved as visual-creatures.
Heads-up: selecting from menues, is how it should be.
Tapping messages to the-little-man-in-the box is absurd.
To facilitate human-reading [which we paid schooling costs for] we should
just select the syntactically valid choice at the present context.
A bit like spreadsheets.
Unpaired-brackets should be as rare as a pencil-without-lead.
Nesting of brackets should show the contents in alternate colours,
  by default.

Using a new computer language should be like visiting a new town;
which has the same rules: like selecting 1-of-a-zillion telephone
numbers from the directory.

I suspect colorforth uses some of these ideas?
ETHOberon from the 90's does -- with great effect.
