Dan,

> is smiley different than what is distributed in the fpc-x.zip files?
.
The answer is currently "yes." But I have sent the Silicon Valley F-PC
group a copy of this new version of SMILEY.ZIP, and they may soon begin
to distribute it instead of the old version.
The new version is worth getting; it is considerably improved, and it
includes Mike Sperl's optimized line drawing algorithms.

Desc: RCA 1802/6 simulator in F83
These programs outline a special software/hardware project undertaken recently
by the Houston, Texas chapter of FIG, to simulate an RCA 1802/6 microprocessor
while creating project boards to run FIG-Forth. F83 was used for the
simulator, running on an IBM PC. The hardware resources of the 1802 and 1806
were simulated in Forth. A straightforward interface program was designed to
allow loading/running/debugging real 1802/6 programs on the PC environment.
Eventually, the 1802 FIG-Forth (which is included) was loaded and run on the
simulator. Alberto Pasquale, a long-time FIG member in Houston, wrote up this
project in Vol.1 No.3 of the ACM SIGForth Newsletter. Contact "P.FRENGER" for
SIGForth details.

GROUP and SEGMENT. A data structure allows to access an element of
the structure by name to obtain the element address and length.

FIGGY BAR of 7 June 1990. The question of the night : When an implemen-
tation of ANS Forth becomes available for your system will you use it, roll
your own, don't know, don't care ?.....
This lead to several opposing views of the TC's actions, the BASIS as it now
exists, and view(s) of the future standard. The discussion between Robert
Berkey and Dennis Ruffer over decisions made regarding division was
especially involved.
IF YOU HAVE ANY interest in the future of Forth, this is another 'must

Many think BBL is huge !!! - NOT true. Here is BBL in executible form, having been compiled on a 286 without a math co- processor. It extracts to 27065 bytes. By comparison F83Y bare bones kernel is 30080 bytes, eForth is 15104 bytes and Sergei Baranoff's Beta is 14998 bytes. There are no docs with this posting.

at that time. Forth vs C from the programmers' and managers' perspectives.

The topic was: "What happened to the Cat ?" in reference to the marketing
failure of the Canon Cat. This initial discussion rapidly
gave way to a more thorough look at what the interface
between computer and man should be. Certainly, an area that
it can be safely argued Jef Raskin is one of the ranking
authorities of, if not 'the' authority.

FIGGY BAR of 25 October 1990 . The question of the night was, "What do
you think of the changes in ForthNet ? Do you even care ?" This prompted
a discussion of the recent (dramatic) changes in the connectivity of this
support resource. Other items discussed include implementing strings in
Forth, hardware prototyping mag tape controllers, management reluctance
to accept Forth.

I wrote this application to use a PC to repalce the ASR35 TTY
normally used with the PDP8 which I use to run functional tests
on a avioncs unit as part of my duties as a field service engineer
for GEC-MARCONI. It is written using F-PC and includes several
comm routines which may be of interest to others. It uses Ray Duncan's
asynch driver and Craig Lindley's window program. It has a file handler
and file capture and printer re-direction of input serial data. There
are also words to change serial port and Baud parameters.

Desc: PC to PDP8 application, update.
PC-PDP1.ZIP enables using a PC to replace the ASR35 TTY unit
normally used to do PDP8 input/output. The program is written
in F-PC v3.5. It uses Craig Lindley's windowing utility and
Ray Duncan's asynch driver from P/C-Forth. While not many will
find the original application useful, the program does have
a number of ideas and useful words. This version includes the
file async.seq which I forgot to include in PC-PDP.ZIP. If anyone
is interested using the program with a PDP8, I can supply the details
on the hardware I used to interface the PC RS232 port to the PDP8
tty I/O port.

STP1.ARC is a very direct port of Laxen & Perry F83 to the Atari ST, in
position-independent form. Includes source, metacompiler, and executables,
just like the original CP/M and MS-DOS versions.
STP2.ARC is a modified set of extension files for Atari F83 in STP1.ARC, as I
prefer to use it. Duplicates much of STP1.ARC, but adds a full screen-
oriented editor and a 2-across by 4-down block listing utility.
STP3.ARC has some useful utilities for the Atari ST port of F83, including
documentation for the 68000 assembler, buffered file access words (getc, putc,
etc.), elementary access to GEM graphics, color Mandelbrot display, and
complete source to make F83 a well- behaved but VERY dangerous GEM desk
accessory.
(The ARC format is compatible with several programs, including most MS-DOS
ARC's. I can upload an Atari PD ARC if anyone needs it.)

Category 1, Topic 3 Message 70 Sat Dec 22, 1990 W.FEDERICI at 16:14 PST I had problems with the executable files, also. When I examined them as a hex dump, I found that they begin with some kind of "header" or "prelude" not recognized by me or my ST. They become executable if you just remove the few dozen bytes up to (but not including) the TOS "magic word" hex 601A. (Presumably experienced Forth users can do such things easily; if its not easy to get corrected files, I can upload my results after XMAS.) The text files also have such headers, but text editors probably won't mind. By the way, although the source is included, you'll want to check the articles in recent Forth Dimensions (July/August and September/October, I believe) for helpful documentation. - Wilson ----- This message came from GEnie via willett.

32 bit eForth implementation for 80x8x IBM-PC/XT/AT and clones.
Fully optimized code with lots of utilities.
Generated by metacompilation. Metacompiler included.
This implementation contains many eForth code examples which are
very useful for people who want to develop applications based
on eForth

Authors: Bill Muench and C. H. Ting
Improved assembly macros.
Improved formatting and comments.
Self-extracting compressed file. Type EFORTH86 to extract the files.
eForth is a small, portable Forth model intended to be implemented
on many differently CPU's. This implementation serves as the basis
of this mode.

eForth for 8051 assembled using MASM.
Code fully tested on MicroMint BCC52 Single Board Computer.
Self-extracting Compressed file. Type EFORTH51 to extract files.
This serves as an example on how to implement eForth for a CPU
other than 80x8x under MASM.
Code is not optimized. Runs slowly because of dictionary searches.
Use will have to optimize it for real applications.
Great tool to learn Forth internals.

eForth model ported to 68000, tested on Motorola ECB system.
Source code in MASM form, assembled code is then converted to
Motorola s-records which can be downloaded to ECB board.
Code conversion and terminal utilities are included.
C. H. Ting contributed a source file including macros which swap
the byte order so that MASM generates the correct 68000 code.

started off by discussing the scheduling of guests, then moved into

conference, and we moved on to database programs. Irving tried to
talk Giles into writing an online acronym dictionary. We got into
object oriented programming languages and big number routines and
how they apply to MUMPS. Moving from there to sparse arrays we
closed off the evening.

ANS Forth Basis15 in Microsoft RTF format. This document (BASIS15)
exists only as a platform for making proposals. It will be replaced
in its entirety at the next meeting of the ANS ASC X3/X3J14
Technical Committee. Consequently, this document expires on the
first day of that next meeting.

Folks! Notice that there is no next meeting date on this latest version of
BASIS. That is because they have not scheduled one. They are conducting a
mail in vote of the TC members right now to make this one a Draft Proposed ANS
document (dpANS). This is the moment we have all been waiting for. If the
vote passes, then (I think) we move on to the public comment phase. So, look
this one over very closely, and get your comments in to your friendly TC
member. My personal recommendation is to let them get on with it. It may not
be perfect, but it is closer than we have ever been before. It is time to see
some implementations.

FIGGY BAR of 25 April 1991. Notice on the door reads: Welcome to another
open FIGGY BAR. Are you ready for dpANS Forth ? Would you like Wil Baden
to restart the 'puzzles' topic ? If none of these appeal to you, start
your own ax grinding (Forth related). Your FIG-tender is Gary. We didn't
discuss the puzzles. We did discuss dpANS and give personnel sketches.

the usefulness of truncated-to-zero division). No programming required! Many
variations of turtle-drawn circles appear, using different division
