[comp.lang.forth] F83

marsh (11/07/88)

From: Brian Marsh <marsh>

I am looking for F83 by Laxen and Perry, a public domain
implementation of Forth. This implementation is mentioned in Forth
Dimensions.  I need a version for the IBM PC.  Can you help?  

Thanks in advance,

	Brian

Roundtable on GEnie ( page 710). You can get a disk by mail from the
Forth Interest Group Library, just join FIG at PO Box 8231, San Jose

I would like to ftp it over here where I can easily get it on disk.
Can you tell me How?? (net.address ,anonymous?? )

Also is there any FORTH in the public domain for a 8051/8031
Intel microcontroller?

I would have replied direct, but followup is easier.
I have tried to reply direct, but I don't know rn well enough.
(I thought a 'r' would do it, but it seems like this does a follow up too.)

Also, what are the conventions used in bringing a letter in like I tried to do
above?   Is there a news group that is made for answering dumb news
questions?      

Thanks  Brynn rogers@src.honeywell.com
P.S. I don't even know what my usenet address is!
