The biggest problem might be having room for it in the place it
must run.   If it doesn't need to use/modify the boot block, then it
should be easy.

Hey, there are whole web sites out there about programming in forth.
You can learn.
I waded through it about 6 years ago, but don't remember much.

If someone else is doing it, then give them a little encouragement
and help if needed.   That might be quicker than doing it yourself.

By the way, probably bugs isn't the most appropriate place for

through the list of lists for a better place.
