[comp.lang.forth] comForth vs. FPC or F83?

S72UZAW@TOWSONVX.BITNET (Yahn Zawadzki) (01/18/90)

Greetings...
        I have just finished reading the OLIS comForth info file...  Does
anyone out there use comForth?  If you do, would you tell me why you chose
that implementation over FPC or F83? I realize comForth has some very
interesting features, like the application generator, but can they be easily
implemented in FPC?  I have just purchased a 286-16 machine, and I am having a
hard time deciding on the bes implementation...  My work involves application
generation, so comForth sounds pretty good, but I am not sure about the legal
implications of their license agreement, and of course, if implementing the
best features of comForth is not difficult in FPC or F83, I'd rather stick with
the latter ones (83 standard is not of the utmost importance, but would be
nice).  Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
