- 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 "Forth FAQ:
- Libraries: Where and how?" for more info on accessing other
- libraries, many of which also have TILE available. -dwp]
