PD: I don't know. This A4TH thing sounds pretty good.
Commercial: JForth, no contest.
32 bit
JSR threaded, with inline substitution for "small" words
object-oriented environment extension
easy access to all ROM and disk resident .libraries
zillions of tools and utilities
uses text files, but provides block environment for those
who reeeaaaaally want it :-)
C-like structure definitions, especially useful with .library
calls
Complete set of RKM include files, analogous to their .h
counterparts
Disassembler
*Motorola-format forward (as opposed to RPN) assembler
*CLONE - target compiler, crunches down through the dictionary
to produce fast, compact, standalone applications
*modules - chunks of precompiled dictionary which can be
inserted into and removed from the search path.
These consume no dictionary space.
*hashed dictionary search (zzzzzZZIP!)
*command line history and editing
I'm sure there're a few things I'm forgetting.
had enough?
* - available only with JForth 2.0 ("Professional")
For Amigans only:
For those of you who are JForthers and MIDIots, I have a packet of code
which interfaces JForth to Bill Barton's PD midi.library. I could zoo it
up and send to comp.sources.amiga, but I'm wondering if it might be more
appropriate to post here. It's not terribly large, I don't think.
Anyone interested?
Has anyone done a JForth/ARP interface?
