Hi Erich, thank you for your help. After a few goes I successfully got the compiling to work. For those readers looking for a step by step process this is what I did:
1. Extract AMforth6-5. 2. Create a project directory (I used myproj in this instance) under amforth6-5\appl 3. Copy the contents of a relevant example or the contents of the template folder. I tried both with success. 4. Copy the relevant device.asm file into the myproj folder. Since I was using a board with an atmega328p chip, I used the device.asm file from E:\amforth-6.5\avr8\devices\atmega328p 5. Put avrasm2.exe into the amforth6-5 folder. 6. There is no "include" directory in the ATMEL assembler download mentioned in http://amforth.sourceforge.net/UG/quick-windows.html There is an Appnotes2 folder which I copied under AMforth6-5 though not having it generated no error messages. 7. In the myproj folder I created make.bat with the following command ..\..\avrasm2.exe -fI -o myproj.hex -e myproj.eep -l myproj.lst -I ..\..\ -I ..\..\common -I ..\..\avr8 -I ..\..\appnotes2 -v0 myproj.asm I tried this twice for two projects and no errors in the assembly were noted. Once again thanks for putting me on the right track.
