Does anybody know if there is a version of Forth09 for the Color Computer 3 under OS-9 Level II that has the doc files. I have the pre-liminary version of Forth09 on my board, but was looking for a newer version of the program. You may contact me at my RiBBS 2.0 Beta BBS (OS-9 Fido BBS) and upload the file if you have it, or tell me where it can be found.

"Starting Forth" is one of the _best_ introductory computer language texts I've seen, so I think the author of Forth09 was wise to just refer to that book. It should be available in almost any good book store. - Tim Koonce ...!ucbvax!math!koonce koonce@math.berkeley.edu

Do you know if there are any docs floating around for Forth09? Also, do you know if there is a program floating around to ZIP files. I have an OS-9 program that will unzip them but was curious if there was one to zip them as well.

I haven't seen a ZIP program, though I have seen ARC source floating around, if you're interesting in trying the port. - Tim Koonce koonce@math.berkeley.edu ucbvax!math!koonce

-> seen a ZIP program, though if you're interesting in trying the port. Is the source for the ARC program, only to dearc files or is it to ARC files as well? If it will allow arcing of files I'm interested as this will help the author of RiBBS 2.0 in the Fido area.
