Where can I find a Forth for the SUN?
From: wmb@ENG.SUN.COM
Subject: Forth for Sun

I know of four Forth's that run on Suns, in increasing order of price:
a) Open Boot PROM - built-in to the SPARCstation PROMs. Inaccessible from
the Unix environment; you have to interrupt the boot process and
then type "n" to get to Forth.
b) TILE - shareware, $50 suggested contribution to Mikael Patel.
Written in C, runs on Suns. Available from the net, but I'm not
sure how to get to it from your site. Maybe somebody else knows.
c) C Forth 83 - $75 from Bradley Forthware. Written in C, runs on
several machines. Tape or floppy.
d) Sun Forth - $200 from Bradley Forthware. Written in metacompiled
Forth/assembler. Unix version of the Forth in the SPARCstation PROMs,
with extensions. Tape or floppy.

[TILE is also posted to alt.sources and should be available through any
of the alt.sources archives. Also, see FAQ Part 11 for more info
on accessing other libraries, many of which also have TILE available.
