NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT July 29, 1987
Forth Programmer's Portable Editor
A new editor for Forth programmers using the IBM PC or
compatibles is now available. It is powerful, fast, easy to
learn and to use, can be customized, and can be used with any
Forth for the PC. Forth programmers can now have their own
standard editor, no matter what Forth version they may encounter
on the PC.
The editor is supplied as an object module which can be loaded
as a resident overlay by any Forth program. It resides in a
memory segment different from the Forth program by which it is
loaded. It is available for both stand-alone and DOS resident
versions of Forth.
The editor is screen oriented and has a rich set of line and
screen Move and Copy functions as well as fast Find, List, and
Search-and-Replace functions. It can access Forth screens via
DOS files or direct media read-write (either through DOS or BIOS
calls). It includes facilities for moving screens between files
and from files to direct blocks (on the same or different
media).
The editor can be used to edit screens using either of two
access methods. A single screen at a time may be resident in
memory or a set of up to sixty contiguous screens may be brought
into memory and edited as a group. Accessing media a single
screen at a time allows fast random access to any screen on the
media, while accessing contiguous sets of up to sixty screens
provides very fast screen management.
FEATURES:
* One standard object module1 for any Forth2 for the PC.
* Loads as a separate module, memory recovered on exiting Forth.
* Loader requires less than 1K of the resident Forth's memory.
* Compatible with DOS based or stand-alone Forths.
* Provides powerful media management facilities.
* Insert, Delete, Move, Copy, Exchange, or Import screens.
Requires PC or MS-DOS version 2.0 or up and 134K of memory.
The editor3 is being introduced at a single copy suggested
retail price of $20.00 and is also available for vendor
distribution. Documentation is currently provided as ASCII and
screen files.
