Dear eForth User:
eForth is a small portable Forthdesign for a wide range of
microprocessors. This implementation for 8051/31 microcontroller
on an IBM-PC/XT/AT personal computer demonstrates the poratbility
of the eForth Model. The MASM source file is provided so that you can
easily rewrite it for your target 8051 system.
The files on this diskette are:
EFORTH.ASM The source code of eForth for 8051.
EFORTH.SRC The Forth source of eForth Model.
EFORTH.GLO The glossary of words in eForth.
EFORTH.EXE The binary code of the 8051 eForth.
READ.ME This file.
The assembly commands are:
>MASM EFORTH;
>LINK EFORTH;
The binary code in EFORTH.EXE can be programmed into an EPROM.
However, the actual code is offset by 512 bytes from the beginning
of the .EXE file. You have to shift it back so that the code
will be place at the correct location.
An excellent book 'Embedded Controller Forth for the 8051 Family'
by W. H. Payne is available from Academic Press. I would like to point
out that it takes a whole book to explain how to build your 8051
Forth using metacompilation technique. This is what I wanted to avoid
by presenting eForth in MASM assembler. You will be the judge to
decide which approach is better suited for your needs.
