[net.unix-wizards] need a copy of FORTH

jeff@lbl-csam.ARPA (03/20/85)

Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of FORTH that will
run on a VAX 11/750, under UNIX 4.1 ?  I'm trying to get a 
version running on our VAX, but the only copy I have was written
for a PDP-11 and simply refuses to run (not unexpected).  Any
help would be appreciated.

                                  Thanks,

                                       Jeff

Last summer I posted a Forth I had written for the Vax under 4.[1-2] BSD. This
is a forth-79 implementation that I wrote several years ago. It is used here
mainly for image processing.  It continues to evolve here.

Other implementations of Forth of which I am aware:

	Kitt Peak forth, written by Richard Stevens.  Kitt Peak forth is
	a dialect unique to Kitt Peak.

	vforth, which was posted a couple of months ago by Prentiss Riddle.
	I don't remember who wrote it.

	A version of 83-forth written by someone at John Hopkins whose name 
	I forget.
