I suppose it's easier on byte-oriented machines but it seems doable on others. ANSI FORTH may be
helpful for this, since it explicitly distinguishes between "character address" and
"cell address" (meaning word address).
Good point - that

Indeed - but it really doesn't fit machines that aren't byte-oriented.
I started on porting FIG-FORTH to the PDP-10 architecture but quickly
abandoned the effort...

That reminded me of the Lawrence University PDP-11/20 (running RSTS V4A under
very high loads). It tended to crash roughly every 24 hours. DEC

Forth was ported to an HP-2100 in 1972, by Elizabeth Rather, so had early
history on HP hardware, though from what I can it it was never a product
available from HP.
I don't know if Forth Inc ever supported Forth on HP machines.
Anthony Pepin provided a Forth to the HP3000 Contributed Library in
