Sounds like you collect just about everything for the PC. You must have
a lot of room! I used to have APL for the PC. I wish I'd keep it. I think
it's the only one that I didn't get in this load. BTW I also have
PolyForth from Forth Inc. Forth Inc is the company that Charles Moore
started in order to sell Forth after he wrote it. No, it's not for sale.
I've had it for a long time and one of these days I'll sit down and give it
some serious attention.

Those are hard to find. I used to have one but without the intreface
cards and cable. They only other one that I know of is the one that Glen
sold one E-bay.
