That was a very old Forth !!!!!!
VERY VERY OLD !!!!
You can find many forths that use files at http://www.forth.org
The "old way" of using the disk(s) in forth was breaking the space in blocks
of 16 lines of 64 chars (1024 bytes), and addressing the disk in blocks.
Why that approach ? To eliminate the need of an OS.
Paulo Ferreira
P.S.: The book "Thinking Forth" by Leo Brodie is one of the best
books ever about programming.
