I've tried to learn FORTH several times and always hit walls where the interpreter is buggy, or just different from the book I have(starting FORTH 2nd ed) , and undocumented.
I think my next attempt will be using DXFORTH under CP/M. I'm net.friends with the author and I can just bug him if I can't get something to work. :-) Willard Sent from Samsung tablet -------- Original message -------- From Fred Whitaker <rr...@hotmail.com> Date: 02/24/2017 8:25 AM (GMT-07:00) To Model 100 Discussion <m100@lists.bitchin100.com> Subject Re: [M100] Wp2 here and working! Forth is a fascinating language. I have seen implementation as small as 2K. Essentially you use existing functions and calls to extend the language to accomplish a specific task. As you extend it the file increases in size, which is one drawback. You can save your extension to disk as "pages" to be recalled. Later, or you can save the new "version" to disk as a standalone FORTH.

Heh, yes I've got your CamelFORTH but FORTH is just one language I've never been able to get into. I can do 1 1 +. But after that? Pfft! Actually my last attempt to learn it was with model 100 MFORTH... Willard Sent from Samsung tablet
