To drag this in a different direction since the LISP discussion brought
a few memory frags to the surface...

Forth, LISP, PostScript and a few others I'll leave others to name
were all similar in that they were stack oriented languages. I never
worked with them much save for Postscript (it's core is Forth to me).

Now, I vaguely remember a series of articles in Kilobaud, Dr Dobbs or
maybe Byte on constructing your own forth like language in the early 80s.
Anyone remember these? Are there copies?
