Versions of FIGForth were available for quite a few processors.
I've got it running on simh emulating a PDP-11 and I'll copy it
to my Micro 11/73 as soon as I can persuade it to read floppys
written by putr. I'm running it under RT-11 but it can be compiled
to run stand-alone.
It's quite possible that FigUK may have a FIG listing in their library
and I've possibly got a TRS-80 version somewhere.
