I'm a little confused.  The cfasm.zip assembly files are for 'as'.
I thought the T. Lovall files were Masm?

...anyhow. They tested OK for me on IBM PC 300 GL, thus:
Boot to Linux, compile with 'as' per script in
http://personalwebs.oakland.edu/~maslicke/colorforth/compile,
then 'dd' to floppy (using parts of the binary file at
ftp://ftp.ultratechnology.com/COLOR.COM).
Also 'dd' the same composite package to a Win2k directory.

...Reboot and colorForth runs from floppy OK

...Reboot to Win2k, and colorForth runs from disk under Bochs, OK.

And in another chapter...

Tried same process as above, but in Linux with Nasm, then dd result with
original COLOR.COM (Am I correct in assuming it's necessary to combine
these?). But this will not boot on my machine from floppy or in Windows
Bochs.

Have not tried the Peter Appelman 'smallfont' in Nasm.
