From an old post of yours, it's supposedly on taygeta, but it FIFTH was a
commercial FORTH...  No, there seem to be many FORTH's named FIFTH. 
Another
old post of yours indicates it is by Click.  And, a recent post by Steve
Graham has a link to it and a linke to an ED article on tuwien:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth/msg/5f24ad2cd06e6e14?hl=en

And, it's in bld.fiv in FIFTH.ZIP from an ancient no longer mirrored
Simtel
directory which has some other archived FORTH's from '84 to '93:
http://files.chatnfiles.com/Simtel/DISC2/FORTH/

And, I've got no idea what he's doing in STACK in bld.fiv...

There is also this post of FIFTH's STACK word in x86(?):
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth/msg/d917a7dc989b8c1c?hl=en

Anyway, the second one has far to much for a tight, compact mapping onto
x86...

I thought taygeta stopped archiving stuff around '98...  Hmm, I guess not:

All those seem to reorder the stack in FORTH, I'm interested in something
which rewrites FORTH words in terms of other FORTH words, especially words
which operate on the stack.  I've basically exhausted what their program
can
do, but when I realized that it had a problem with generating sequences
using low valued PICK and ROLL's, I was hoping for something better.
