I have a c64 computer, and I am interested in learning Forth and/or related threaded languages. I have considered coding one from scratch using the excellent book "Threaded interpretive languages : their design and implementation" by R. G. Loeliger as a guide. The task seems a little more time consumming than I'm prepared to follow through with. Additionally I would like to start with a kernel that is pretty standard Forth -- I'm not sure I could duplicate one even looking at a standards guide. I know that a lot of companies have sold versions of Forth for the c64 computer, but I really want something that is PD, preferably with assembly source included -- I want to be able to analyze and change the code as part of the learning experience. Please send me e-mail if you know how I could obtain such a code. If there isn't a c64 specific code, I would also be glad to know if there is an apple II, atari, or other 6502 version available. I think I could probably adapt it to work on a c64 if I had assembly source. Thanks, Kevin Allred allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu allred@ut-emx.UUCP

I think I i would be interested in any information on this too. probably worth posting. the forth interest group (FIG) provides PD listings of fig forth for apple II and ``generic 6502''; i don't have the address with me, but i've got a copy, and i'll post the address (if i remember; if not, nag me :-) > Kevin Allred > allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu > allred@ut-emx.UUCP ____________________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: Everything I say is the| sekora-jay@yale.UUCP absolute and utter truth, but Yale | {backbone}!yale!sekora-jay doesn't necessarily know this. | sekjaya@yalevm.BITNET | 6455 Yale Station, New Haven, CT 06520

I have FIG Forth for the C64, and will give a copy to anyone who mails me
a disk and enought money for return postage. If interested, send me email.

Thanks for your offer. I would like a copy of the FIG Forth for C-64.
Where do I send the disk to?

I posted my offer about FIG Forth at the wrong time. The night I made the
posting, the power supply for my disk drive fried, and it may be several weeks
before I can get it repaired.
I'm sorry about not being able to send anyone Forth at this time, but if you
still want it in a few weeks, send me email then and hopefully I can send you
a copy.

While we're on the subject, does anybody have any code they have done which they might want to post or distribute. Eg Utilities,tools, extensions. I know that the target audience for this article is SMALL, but here's hoping.
