I'd say start out with Chris Jakeman's Minimal ANS Forth. He has 48

This sounds interesting. Do you have a link? I couldn't find it with
Google.

The first link has a short description, and the second claims to be the
download. I haven't actually tested that it works, or that MAF works as
described.

I played around with it a while back; it works. Actually, as part of
the load sequence it runs John Hayes's test suite. It does have a
couple of case sensitivity problems (it defines words with one
capitalization and uses them with another), but other than that...
