[comp.sys.m6809] Forth compiler -- the scoop

Ernest.Campbell@samba.acs.unc.edu (BBS Account) (08/03/90)

Well, I was finally able to download the Forth program.  It's C source (not
assembly, as Karl originally wanted) and I think it's an interpreter, rather
than a compiler.  Also, there are no docs with it.  In addition, there may
be system calls specific to the OS-9 operating system.  If people are still
interested, let me know and I'll try to go ahead and shar it and put it on
an ftp site somewhere.

Now the good news:  It turns out that the author of this program is a friend
of mine who lives just a block away!  Of course, I didn't find this out until
I had spent lots of time downloading it from a long distance BBS!  In any
case, I'll ask him (Dennis Weldy, AKA OS9er) if he's done any more work since
its release (the date in the source is 1987) and see if he can whip up some
docs for it.  I'll keep everyone updated on this.
