I always wanted to learn Forth, as there was a Forth compiler available on the Commodore Vic-20. Thanks for the reminder and the link. :-)

It wasn't this by any chance? http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/vic20/roms/tools/8k/V...

You should be able to load this into VICE (http://www.viceteam.org/) and start hacking away. Hope this helps.

Honestly, I don't remember. I never used it. I just used to see it in Compute! magazine. But this looks cool. Never had seen VICE before either.

I got an Oxford Computer Publishing FORTH compiler for my Commodore 64.

A great language, though I only tried to write a text adventure in it!

I wrote a SID music sequencing program in Forth on my C64, it was a tremendously fun programming environment. (I think there may have been a bit of assembler involved as well, as it was very easy to call from Forth.)
