[comp.lang.forth] Wanted: source for VOCABULARY and DOES>

cameronjames@snoc01.dec.com (08/08/89)

The FORTH that I am implementing at the moment is a very simple one, using
lists of compilation addresses within the definitions.  (What's this called?)

I'm having trouble working out how to implement VOCABULARY , CONTEXT , CURRENT ,
and DEFINITIONS .  Part of my trouble is perhaps a misunderstanding of their
purpose, but I would appreciate any definitions that other implementors have
used, to make it easier for me. 

Also, the implementation of DOES> that I have come up with is untidy. It
requires an additional address in the header for every definition. I don't like
it. Can anyone show me how it's normally done? 

Please mail source to me.  If you can't, then reply to this message.
Please don't send copyright source unless you own it, and are prepared to 
let me use it in a non-commercial FORTH.
