In my possesion is a version of Forth for PC's and such, written by Mike Perry and Henry Laxen. I would like to know what the most recent release of this Forth is. The version that I have replies with: 8086 Forth 83 Model 2.0.0 Modified 01Apr84 Can anybody fill me in on this ? For people interested in other Forths: I've also got Fys-Forth, which is written by people from the University of Utrecht. Originally written for the Apple II(tm), later ported to PC's (and clones). It is the forth I learned forth from, back in '81, '82 when the only languages available for the Apple were Basic and UCSD Pascal. This forth already featured a full screen editor, and files instead of blocks. I'm not saying files are better than blocks, or blocks better than files, by the way, I just preferred this forth with its files over Basic with its monolithic program structure, and simple line editor. If you would like to learn more about Fys-Forth, please tell me, and I'll dig out some specs. -Henk -- Henk Langeveld @ Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam The Netherlands.
