PISTOL is a Portably Implemented Stack Oriented Language that is a cross
between STOIC and FORTH. Version 2.0 of PISTOL for CP/M-80 (in BDS-C) and
for the DEC-20 (in PASCAL) can be found on SIG/M volume 114.
I am in the course of converting the PASCAL version over for VAX/VMS, and
perhaps to Turbo Pascal [ please - no inquires, I'll post news here once
I'm done ].
My purpose here is two-fold: 1) to inform people about the code (a prior
fig-forth in C that was widely discussed turns out only to be good under
UNIX/bsd because you use the stream editor to install it; BDS-C is weird
but at least it's C); 2) HAS ANYBODY ALREADY PORTED PISTOL TO OTHER MACHINES
OR KNOW OF A MORE RECENT VERSION OF THE CODE ?
Thanks.
