    In reply, I repost:

            In the years that I have been discussing Forth on USENET, one
            of the most frequently-asked questions I have received is:

                    "Where is a PD Forth for the 8051?"

            Dr. C.H. Ting's October 1990 newsletter for his "Offete
            Enterprises" samizdat house (garage, actually) contains
            the following two items:

            2104. eForth Model and 8086 Implementation, Bill Muench and
            C.H. Ting -- $25.00

    >>>>>   2105. 8051 eForth, C. H. Ting -- $25.00  <<<<<
            "A small ROM based Forth system ... Source code is in MASM (!!
-jax)
            ... IBM 5.25 disk ... With 8051 eForth Implementation Note."

            The address & phone is:

                    Offete Enterprises, Inc.
                    1306 South "B" Street

    Elizabeth Rather posted to ForthNet that Forth, Inc. has an 8051
    cross-development system, along with other Forth systems...
    Call 1-800-55FORTH for details.

    These are available from at least 4 companies that I can think
    of offhand --

    Laboratory Microsystems Inc. (my own company)
    Forth Inc.
    Microprocessor Engineering
    Mikrap and Forth Systeme (they sell a product called SwissForth
      which is different than the LMI cross-compiler, although they
      also sell LMI products)

    There is also a public domain Forth for the 8051 called EFORTH
    which is available on many bulletin boards, and a semi (?) public-
    domain Forth by Bill Payne that is documented in a recent book.
