Hi, I'm the author of the Create Universes blog, and I'd like to thank you for
mentioning my work here. By the way, my name is Greg Santucci, not János Bolyai.
János Bolyai was a famous mathematician that I was merely quoting.

Hello Greg,

thanks for solving this, I'm really sorry. I will also update your name
in the German Forth Gesellschaft e.V. Blog, where I posted the
information about your software.

But thank you for this great piece of work.

WikiReader Forth Simulator

 I bought a WikiReader recently, which apart from being a 4GB text
 only offline version of Wikipedia, comes with a fun feature where it
 can run any Forth programs which are placed on its internal mini SD
 card. I wrote this program so I could test my small Forth programs
 without having to swap the mini SD card in and out repeatedly. The
 current version can run most of the test programs exactly as they
 appear on the SD card very faithfully. This app uses a Forth
 interpreter provided by the open source embeddable Forth
 implementation FICL (http://ficl.sourceforge.net/), and it works by
 providing device specific words as callbacks to a simulated
 WikiReader. It implements enough now to be useful, including the
 framebuffer functions, GDI functions (including text rendering using
 the device's font) and input functions, so I'm releasing it.

There is the windows binary for download and LGPL source.
