I _think_ I have a copy of 'Starting Forth' by Leo, but I'm not sure I could 
find it yet today in the 20 year old midden heap that is my basement.  And 
somewhere, I did have a copy of Forth, probably CF83, but haven't stumbled 
over that in 20+ years.  I'd assume it is somewhere in the thousand or so 
floppies stashed in those little wooden/plastic covered bread boxes.

If someone wants to make me an offer I can't refuse, I could be cajoled into 
looking for it. :)
