Pygmy Forth version 1.3
copyright 1989, 1990 Frank C. Sergeant
809 W. San Antonio St.
San Marcos, TX 78666
The executable file is PYGMY.COM. It should run on any IBM/clone
type computer using the standard video addresses of $B0000 for
monochrome or $B8000 for color (as almost all do) and having at least
128K bytes of RAM and at least a single floppy or hard disk.
See FILES.DOC for a description of the other files included in
this package.
If the files are zip'd or arc'd, uncompress them. Make a copy, so
you can fall back if you or fate or human error screw up the original
files.
The only file you have to have to run is PYGMY.COM. You'll
probably want the source code file (PYGMY.SCR) in the same directory.
You'll probably also want the empty source code file (YOURFILE.SCR)
which is provided for source code you write. YOURFILE.SCR is included
so you won't need to worry about creating or opening files as you start
out. Since all of the included files easily fit on a single 360K
floppy, you might as well put all of them on your work floppy or in one
directory of your hard disk.
To start the program, make the directory &/or disk that contains
the Pygmy files the default, and type PYGMY <Enter> from the DOS
prompt. Pygmy Forth will come up with its greeting and a list of files
that it has opened. You should see two files, PYGMY.SCR and
YOURFILE.SCR.
Read the text file PYGMY.TXT for further information on using
Pygmy, printing out the source code, meta-compiling, using the
assembler, etc.
