Nicholas Vrtis, the enigmatic programmer who gave
the C64 world a Micro-Lisp (and a very nice one, too) has
ported the Fig-Forth Forth to the Geos operating system
for the Commodore 64 ( I assume 128 also, I have not got one
so am assuming it will work on the 128).
He included support for the mouse, uses VLIR files for
source, a nice screen editor (point and click on the
line you want to edit and 'voila' you edit it). All in all
it is a real nifty implementation - and... I suppose if enough
people out there are interested, I could post it to the net.
BTW, his doc file (which is far bigger than the 8k Forth) was
set up as a Geowrite file, but I would probably send it as a
text file (smaller, readable on Unix systems, and so on).
Shalom,
Joel.
