Found it! Try this one: https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef96/gassanenko96b.txt

But I'm gonna spoil it for you: BacForth has an extra "L" stack. CUT: and -CUT use it. You might wanna use this one if you REALLY want it: https://sourceforge.net/p/forth-4th/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/4th.src/lib/stack.4th

It's code for a light weight stack. BTW, TRACKING is missing as well. It might have to do with this one? https://sourceforge.net/p/forth-4th/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/4th.src/lib/backtrak.4th

Thank you (and sjack) for chasing down this one.  More detail appears to be
available in the SP-Forth sources directory:  \devel\~profit\lib\bac4th.f
 
A CP1251 to Unicode converter is here:
https://convertcyrillic.com/#/convert

M. Gassanenko's original doc with code is in directory:  \devel\~mlg

Don't know whether I should be surprised or not but after passing through
Google Translate the result is amazingly good English.
