Hi there you figgies. This is my first posting, so please excuse any mistakes or bad form. I work with a protected mode real-time opperating system that runs on Intel 80286 and 80386 CPUs. I would really like to port forth to my system, but I am having a hard time finding assembly language sources. I have found a couple of meta compiliers that produce '.com' or '.exe' files. The format of executable files in my system is quite different from DOS so it would make my port extra difficult if I used a meta compilier. What I would like is PD 80x86 sources (masm, or other) of either 79 or 83 standard forth. The more modular the OS dependencies the beter. Thanks alot.

I am not a very experienced News poster, so please forgive any mistakes I might make. I work on a proprietary protected mode operating system called FlexOS. We have implimentations for several processors, but the most popular versions are for the Intel 286 and 386. I have been looking for some time now to increase our language support base. Currently we have C, Pascal, Fortran and Cobol. I am not a FORTH expert, but I have used it enough to realize it's power. What I am trying to find is a good PD FORTH source in Masm/Tasm assembly language. Doug Willett sent me a copy of eforth. It is a very nice implementation, but I found that it does not easily port to protected mode. If anyone has a version for UNIX or OS/2 that they could send to me I would be very greatful!!! Thanks in advance, Adam Messer
