From Newsgroup: comp.lang.forth

I recently installed fig-Forth on a public access VAXstation 4000 that I
help operate, and just finished rewriting a collection of words for
converting US customary and SI units for Forth calculator mode.

It was a chance for me to learn some new Forth tricks while
retro-computing in fig-Forth.

E-mail me if you're interested in logging-on to the VAX.

In getting your utility to run on my 16-bit forth, I needed to create a
couple libraries that will be generally useful. So thanks for that!

You're welcome.

I found the source for fig-Forth itself and the CIFIG extensions very educational.
