Hi,
I was very impressed too by Quartus Forth. Haven't try it yet, but i will.
I used forth on a TRS-80 16 years ago, to develop a program which can use
heruristic algorithm to minimize the gate number in combinatinal circult.
it is probably the first real forth app developed in China. Forth serves
that purpose very very well. Since then, i never do anything on forth
again, seem i need refresh my memory a bit.
Anyone can recommed a good online forth book?
Best Regards,
Ren.
