[colorforth] early stack machines and languages


I came across some interesting articles on Charles Hamblin:

http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~peter/this-month/this-month-3-030303.html

He was the orignator of reverse polish notation and aparently the dual
stack machine as is referenced in Chris Bailey's thesis:

http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~chrisb/main.ps

Hamblin created a language called GEORGE (General Order Generator) which
used RPN notation.

I have no idea how close GEORGE is to Forth, it would be interesting to
get hold some of these documents.
