Does anybody have a stand-alone FORTH interpreter laying around that

Mid to late 1980s the FORTH Interest Group's FORTH Implementation Team
published a number of implementations that could typically be
conditionally assembled to run either stand alone or under an OS.
I've got a handful of actual machines (PDP/11-05, Nova 1200, IMSAI 8080,
Technico SS16, Interdata 6/16) that show signs of actually acting like
computers. None of them are likely to ever have enough in the way of
peripherals to run an OS in a meaningful way. Stand alone FORTH
interpreters existed for most of them at one time, and might be
reasonable to run on these striped-down relics.
Getting stand alone FORTH running on an emulator sounds like a good
intermediate step.
Has anybody run FORTH on any flavor of SIMH?

There you'll find, among others, also the PDP-11 version.
