[comp.lang.forth] Wanted: Forth for 8031 or Bootstrapable Word Set

GMoretti@massey.ac.nz (Giovanni Moretti) (10/03/89)

I have a pile of Intel 8031 microprocessors and lots of ideas for ham-
radio type instruments etc that could use these and I'd like to use this
as a means of learning Forth, as well as getting some intelligent
instruments (e.g. R + jX bridges, controllers for frequency synthesisers).
The free floating point routines are of great value here !!!

Question:

  Does anyone have a version of Forth for the 8031 that they're prepared
  to give away?

     OR

  Is there anywhere a minimal set of definitions that can be used to
  bootstrap Forth onto a new microprocessor?  I've been reading the
  discussions on the MINIMAL FORTH with great interest.  I've seen
  various implementations that could be ported but, usually, there isn't
  a very clear cut list of words that must be implemented in assembler
  and those that can sit on top of this kernel set.


Any help would be much appreciated.
Giovanni
