[net.lang] Princeton FORTH v2.0 for the VAX reposted to net.sources

wls@astrovax.UUCP (William L. Sebok) (07/13/84)

Now that I'm back in town I see that my mailbox is full of complaints of
component postings of Princeton Forth being lost on the net, or of problems
which in my mind can be only attributable to files mangled on the net. Since
every single file seems to have been lost somewhere I am reposting Princeton
Forth v2.0 for BSD4.1 and BSD4.2 on a VAX to net.sources.

There are 8 parts. A size and checksum is now included the
beginning of each part.  Part 8 has several bug fixes:
	1) a colon had been omitted from  ./vaxforth/makefile.4.1
	2) several error handlers in the initialization code in
	   ./vaxforth/forth3.S were faulty and caused core dumps.
	3) A bug in the 4.1BSD section of the above code caused the invocation
	   of one of these error handlers.

I am not sure if this distribution works with 4.1c as I have no access to a
4.1c system.  Likewise as I have no access to a System V computer nor access to
System V manuals there are no System V conditionals.  The port to System V
should, far as I can see, only involve the terminal ioctl's.
