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. Tamir Weiner (moderator of FIGIL) Acknowledge-To: Tamir <UMFORTH@WEIZMANN>
