[comp.sys.m68k] 68k Laxen & Perry Forth

oster@lapis.berkeley.edu.UUCP (02/27/87)

Some years ago I got the Laxen & Perry forth for MSDOS and for CPM-68k. I
didn't have a CPM68k system, but a few days work had the MSDOS version
compiling the 68k source code.  Then I made the whole thing position
independent and ran it on a Macintosh. Sorry, I can't give it to you. It
is owned by the company I was working for, and they aren't selling it.  It
is the easiest and most satisfying way to bring up a new chunk of stuff on
a piece of new hardware, though. I've even been told that Apple's Lisa ran
the forth-like language MAGIC as a hardware debugging tool before it ran
anything else.
