*** Vendor warning ***
======================
I run MicroProcessor Engineering (MPE). We sell Forth cross-
compilers, amongst other things.

The cross-compiler vendors are, as far as I know, Forth Inc and 
MPE. I haven't used the Forth Inc products, except to play with. 
In my biased opinion, MPE's VFX compilers produce better code. 
Forth Inc's products are cheaper.

The MPE compiler supports the 68HC12 paging, includes multi-
tasking and so on. Client applications include elevator and 
train control systems, and racing-car data-logging. The package 
includes all target source code, and the compiler sources are 
supplied after you sign an NDA.

AM Research produce open-source Forth systems, and there have 
been embedded versions of gForth.

Feel free to contact me directly by email, phone or Skype
