Hi there, I am searching for a HP1000 Minicomputer FORTH for brasilian radioastronomer friends. Please let me know if such a Forth has been implemented and if so by whom. Many thanks in advance Andreas My email-address: u266@cbebda3t.bitnet

This is a very nice version, quite stable, with a lot of options available. NONE are F83 standard, neither arer they fully compatible between them, but they are close to F78-F79, with a lot of addons. Main problem would be documentation ... Of course, they would be given free, but as is ! Other persons to contact are : Lary Forsley in Rochester and Hans Nieuwenhuijzen in Utrecht (the Netherland). I am afraid no-one is online. Could you bring me in touch with your Brasilian radioastronomer friend ? (By the way, I am also working in astronomy, just at shorter wavelength ...) best regards, Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------- | Dr Paul Bartholdi bartho@cgeuge54.bitnet | | Observatoire de Geneve bartho@obs.unige.ch | | 51, chemin des Maillettes 02284682161350::bartho (psi) | | CH-1290 Sauverny 20579::ugobs::bartho | | Switzerland +41 22 755 39 83 (fax) | | +41 22 755 26 11 (tel) | | +45 419 209 obsg ch (telex) | ----------------------------------------------------------------
