[comp.lang.forth] FORTH COMPILATOR

PATAT@FRUTRS51.BITNET (03/09/89)

Dear Networker

We have developped very interesting mathematical models of blood
circulation and acoustic propagation on IBM-PC . We appreciate
for these jobs the facilities of the FORTH ( ASYST ) Language .

We have just been connected to a VAX system , pride of TOURS
University , working with VMS-4.7 . There stands the problem
that no FORTH compilator is at the moment avalaible on our
system .

Our programs are too large to be easily rewritten  in another
language ( Fortran , Pascal ...) . So we would be very pleased
if you could tell us how we could find a Forth compilator
compatible with the VAX-VMS system . That would be of a great
help .

We hope to hear from you very soon , do not hesitate to contact
us for any fruitful exchange on Forth program improvement .

Yours sincerely ,

   I didn't have too long to work with the language when I was at Loyola
(I was only learning FORTH then), but there is a lang. called STOIC
which is designed for the VAX computers, and has a "FORTH-like"
structure. You may want to look into that.
