 Subj: VAX BASED FORTH               Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 Hello,
 I am an FAE for Harris Semiconductor.  I have a customer who is 
 interested in doing some RTX2000 developement on a VAX system.  I wanted
 to know if LMI has a VAX based forth and if the RTX-DS developement 
 system could be ported over to run on a VAX.

 We do not sell a VAX-based Forth at this time, however we would be
 willing to do one as a custom port.

   >Does anyone have a pointer for Forth for VAX/VMS.

 Klaus Flesch of Forth Systeme in Breisach, West Germany developed such a
 Forth about 6 or 7 years ago.  I believe he still sells the source code
 on request.  You can contact him via the LMI Forth Board or by sending
 FAX to 011-49-7667-555.

 To whomever asked about Forth on the VAX, I have both the fig-Forth
 which runs under VMS 4.xx, as well as VAX Forthsim/VMS.

 The fig forth is dodgy (uses blocks, but they're stored in files... only
 supports VT100... flips on the high bit when displaying a VLIST... not
 Forth-79 or Forth-83...) and shouldn't be used.

 Whereas, on the other hand, the VAX Forthsim/VMS V3.2 is awesome.  It's
 got RMS file support, store source in files, system service calls,
 debugging tools, compiles to native code, optimization, etc...   It
 requires VMS 5.2 or greater to run.  Alas, my terminal program does not
 support Xmodem or Ymodem file transfers, and I have never been able to
 make Kermit uploads function.  If you'll mail me your address and
 what-not, I'll stick the savesets on your choice of TK-50 or 8mm.
 Exabyte tape and send them off to you, free of charge.

I'm not that person, but...

Since, I don't have direct access to the VAX machine, could you figure out
if you are on bitnet or Internet on that machine, and if so, contact me at the
internet/bitnet address below so that we can arrange an alternate method of
file(s) transfer?


Thanks in advance,
