[comp.lang.forth] 32 bit version of Forth for 680x0 processors

phil@dy4.uucp (phil nowe) (02/08/90)

I would like to know if anyone out there has a
32 bit version of FORTH running on the 680x0 family of processors.



Thanks in advance.

I wrote a 32-bit version of Forth for the Sinclair QL.
It is a true 32-bit version, to benefit most from the processor's speed
I made the Forth a "Subroutine threaded code with inline code using
optimization where possible".
(Unfortunatelly the QL does not use a 680x0 processor.
 It uses the 68008 which is a 68000 with an external 8-bit data bus and
 a 20-bit address bus)

I believe that JFORTH for the Amiga is a 32-bit implementation.
(modulo never having played with it...dimly-remembered comments
from other users.)
