[net.lang.forth] Apple II or // implementations of Forth

UMFORTH@WEIZMANN.BITNET (Tamir) (11/26/85)

I'd like to hear from Apple user's out there as to what system they are running
on the Apple 2 family.  I use Micro-Motion's Forth-79.  It has several distinct
disadvantages, some of which were dealt with I think by the new release
MasterForth (Forth-83).   There was an interesting implementation which I was
considering called SKYFORTH, priced very competitively and with standard
Forth conventions and extensions for the Apple, + full use of a standard
DOS (3.3 or Diversi-Dos compatible!).  For me this was a big advantage
(though I realize some Forther's are wedded to the idea of standard Forth
Screens).    Anyone have an practical experience with SkyForth???
Remarks on other implementations are welcome as well.

Thanks.
