Category 1, Topic 20 Message 5 Sat Jul 21, 1990 D.PENZIEN1 at 22:04 EDT Does anyone know of a Forth implementation for OS9/6809 computers? I checked out file 130-- its a partial version of Forth that I have alreadly (It only covers chapters 1-6 of Starting Forth.) I would like to get into programming in Forth, but I need one that will work on my system. Any suggestions? My system uses Level 1 OS9, 64k ram with a MC6809E CPU. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.

Category 1, Topic 20 Message 6 Sat May 04, 1991 ELLIOTT.C at 22:33 EDT OS9/6809? Is the CoCo one of those? I think it's the 6809 that's Forth- friendly because of 2 h/w stacks. The last few chapters of Starting Forth are harder for concepts than for coding (does that mean anything). Are you ready to try the extensions yourself? I'm curious; how hard would an assembler be? It took teaching myself 8085 m/l to be ready to turn on to Forth. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett. You *cannot* reply to the author using e-mail.

I was working on a OS9 implementation of the 83 standard when I needed to tear some of my hardware off to get a PC up and running... :-| Frank
