I have finished most of the groundwork for a version of Forth for the Mac. It offers dynamic compilation/interpretation, macro definition, stream I/O (unlike the Forth standard), most of the words defined in the Brodie book, capability to build stand-alone applications, console window supports copy/paste actions (but was not written with TE, so its not a dog), takes up a mere 20K (yes, that's right). Lovingly handcrafted in C and assembly language, it is ready to be Beta tested. As a policy, I would like to ensure that the Beta testers get the source code as well as the executable and docs. This is more than I would like to send via mail, and I'm reluctant to send this via comp.binaries.mac until a small user base has sufficiently thrashed it. Therefore, I'm distributing this via postal mail. Send me a single 3.5 inch floppy, and I'll send you back source, executable, and docs. Patches will probably be sent electronically. I'm finishing up my last semester at this time, so there will probably be a lag time before I get things out (early January, I suppose). floppies to: Steve Hawley 13 Catherine La #2 Morristown, NJ 07960 Questions to: Steve Hawley sdh@flash.bellcore.com "Underwear isn't the geartest thing in the world, but it's damn near it."
