   Becoming reacquainted with FORTH

   From: rowlett@access.net   
      
   I once had LMI Forth on a Z80 machine and SwiftForth on an early Windows   
   machine. I now do everything on a Debian 12.8 system.   
      
   The recent thread on CSV versus TSV got me thinking about how to   
   approach a couple of logically unrelated applications using a Forth   
   perspective.   
      
   I'm looking for a Forth interpreter that:   
      1. runs on a Debian system and can launch existing apps and   
         then continue as appropriate.   
      2. compatible with tutorial material that may be suggested to me.   
      3. is free and preferably open source.   
      
   My formal programming background is a one semester course back in 61.   
   In the early 70's I knew some TECO fanatics and in the 80's did   
   assembler maintenance on 8080/8085 systems.   
      
   Suggestions/comments?   
      
   TIA
