[comp.lang.forth] forth on pc

lawitzke@eecae.UUCP (John Lawitzke) (09/28/87)

A public domian forth was distributed on the SUN User Group 1985 tape.
Included in this distribution was the Laxen and Perry F83 distribution
for MS-DOS (also PD). I managed to unpack everything ok, however, the
when I unpacked the file kernel86.bqk using the program "usq"
provided I get the message "bad checksum in kernel86.bqk" .

According to the directions for insatlling there is a F83.COM included
that you use to run KERNEL86.BLK through to produce KERNEL86.COM.
When I run through the KERNEL86.BLK that results from the KERNEL86.BQK
with a bad checksum, the program crashes. 

Could someone send me a uuencoded KERNEL86.BLK? Or recommend another
forth system for the IBM PC/XT?
