I have recently aquired two FORTH's for my little Apple IIGS. I was thinking
I've always been interested in FORTH and I think it would be an appropriate
language for my Apple IIGS (fast stack, fast memory fetches, fast zero page,
). The two Forths I got are Raven Forth and GSforth sys 16 (both demo programs).
The problems here is that I don't even know enough about FORTH to evaluate
the two program I have. Both look good. One comes with an implementation
of the game "GO" using the GS desktop and stuff. GS Forth can get an entire
desktop based application (tools that resemble the Mac) in less than 5K of
compiled code.
What I want is a generic forth book because I doubt very seriously that someone
has written a "programming in FORTH with the GS" and any FORTH book that
included examples for other system dependant compilers would confuse me :)
Any suggesstions?

I'd like to thank David Breeding for his reply about books for Forth. I'd
have sent in mail but my mailer is retarded.

> Forth and BDS sockets > Forth and Signals (BSD or Sys V) I would estimate the market for these 2 books at perhaps 3 people. Perhaps they would work as subchapters in a "Forth and Unix" book. As one of the few Forth vendors addressing the Unix marketplace, I suspect that the "vanity press" would be the only way to get such a book published. > Forth and Xtk This one might be marginally viable.
