I realize this is probably a stupid question, but does anyone have a Forth kernel that uses an 8080? I have an HP terminal (which shouldn't surprise anyone who notices my affiliation) and I would like to implement it on the terminal locally (I have access to the terminal OS sources and know where the magic entry points are). If I can get a stock implementation, I will attempt to implement it on 264x style terminals. If I am successful, I will post the updates using the <whatever_style_ seems_appropriate> method of distribution. This will be a G-job, so there is no guarantee that I will be successful, nor will it be supported by HP. Probably the best way to respond is to mail directly.

#R:hpda:-34500:umn-cs:14200001:000:590 umn-cs!smith Jan 17 14:25:00 1983 Forth Interest Group sells a source listing for 8080 FIG Forth. I spent about 3 days typing it in a few years ago; it used to be stored online at MIT-MC. These days you can get machine readible copies at various prices from Mountain View Press. I found the 8080 listing fairly easy to work with. I've adapted it to run stand alone on my Heath 89 and use it to do remote terminal emulation sorts of things. The only problem with FIG's 8080 listing is that the entire thing is in assembler, though many of the words in it would have been easier to handle if coded in Forth. Rick.
