[comp.lang.forth] Looking for 386 Protected Mode Forths

bushell@HAWK.NSTN.NS.CA (Tom Bushell) (09/07/90)

Hello,

I'm looking for a Public Domain or shareware Forth that will run
in 386 protected mode.  Can anyone tell me where to find such
a beast (preferably on the Internet, but I also have access to
Compuserve, and other BBSs)? Also, any information on your
experience (good or bad) with any of these packages would be
greatly appreciated.

The application is a 386 PC being used as an IP router.  It runs
a proprietary real-time executive, not DOS, so I'll have to port it.
The software is written in C, but I hope to use the Forth as a
monitoring and
 debugging tool.  Unfortunately, this little project of mine has no
official sanction from my management (so what else is new?).
I'm hoping to demonstrate Forth's effectivness, and bring it into
official use.  Anything to get away from !@#%& C !!!

                                          Thanks in advance,

                                          Tom Bushell
