- NOTE from CALAMITY CLIFFS COMPUTER CENTER - 9/1/80
-
- The FORTH11.ASM file as it stands is apparently set up to run on a
- HEATH system. We have no information on the function of any of the
- labels in the source listing, and as there is no (or very little)
- useful commenting in the source listing regarding what code is hard-
- ware dependent and how it should be modified for use on other systems,
- we offer this program with the advice:
-
- ****** CAUTION >>>> CAVEAT EMPTOR <<<< CAUTION ******
-
- Before attempting to use or modify the program, it is advised that the
- complete documentation be procured from the FORTH INTEREST GROUP. In
- addition it might be a good idea to contact Rick Schaeffer for clari-
- fication concerning the uncertain function of much of the code in the
- program. The only thing that we can attest to at the present time is
- that we have successfully assembled the code, as you see it here, with
- the CP/M 2.2 Digital Research assembler without error. We have not
- tried to run the program, as the hardware dependencies have not been
- identified with certainty. In addition, we have no idea whether or not
- it will run successfully under CP/M 2.2.

- THIS DOCUMENTATION SUPPLEMENTS THE ASSEMBLER SOURCE FOR FIG-FORTH WHICH
- RESIDES HERE AS FORTH11.ASM. THIS SOURCE IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE COURTESY
- OF THE FORTH INTEREST GROUP, P.O. BOX 1105, SAN CARLOS, CA. 94070

- THIS COPY OF FIG-FORTH HAS BEEN DE-BUGGED IN THAT IT IS RUNNING ON MY
- H8 SYSTEM UNDER CP/M VERSION 1.43. AFTER SEVERAL ABORTIVE ATTEMPTS,
- I SUCCEEDED IN DOWN LOADING IT TO MICRONET BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING
- IF THERE WERE ANY ERRORS IN TRANSMISSION SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ANY WAY
- OF HAND SHAKING WITH MNET. ON THE VERSION THAT I HAVE RUNNING, I HAVE
- CHANGED SOME OF THE ADDRESSES TO MAKE ROOM FOR MORE DISK BUFFERS, HOWEVER,
- THIS COPY IS INTACT AS PRINTED IN THE FIG-FORTH ASSEMBLY LISTING. THIS
- SHOULD MAKE IT RELATIVELY EASY FOR INTERESTED USERS TO GET THE SYSTEM RUNNING
- EVEN IF SOME OF THE DATA WAS LOST IN TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLED
- ADDRESSES SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THEY APPEAR IN THE FIG LISTINGS (THIS IS
- FOR FIG-FORTH VERSION 1.1....BY THE WAY). YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FIG
- MODEL MANUAL AND THE FIG ASSEMBLY SOURCE LISTING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
- THIS. HOPEFULLY, AT LEAST THIS SAVES A *LOT* OF TYPING FOR SOMEONE!
- GOOD LUCK!
