Well, since at least one person is interested I'll do some updates.
Give me a week, though, very busy time of year.

BTW, QForth is an 8-bit Forth for 65C02 based Apple IIs.  I run it on
a IIgs most of the time anyway.  Actually, I only use the IIgs as a
"fast" IIe (though my IIe with the transwarp is actually faster).

The biggest drawback with QForth is that it only handles decimal
numbers.  Hex would be nice and I've thought about adding it from time
to time.  If I use it more with serial devices I probably will.  What
I like best about QForth is that it reads normal ProDOS text files,
compiles very quickly, and can build standalone SYS or BIN files.
