MVP-Forth
Deze FORTH volgt de 79-standaard. Niets spektakulairs, weinig
utilities vergeleken met Laxon and Perry (volume 2263). Dat heeft
ook weer zijn voordelen: door de eenvoud is hij goed bruikbaar
voor beginners. Bij Laxon and Perry zul je als beginner al snel
in de war raken door het grote aantal beschikbare woorden; waar-
van bovendien nog de meeste niet standaard zijn.
MVP Forth is goed bruikbaar vanuit de in Nederland beschikbare
literatuur; b.v. "All about Forth" van MVP. Ook staan er in Byte
regelmatig advertenties van Mountain View Press, de ontwerpers.
Zij geven ook veel literatuur over deze versie uit. Er blijven
enige nadelen zitten aan het draaien bovenop MS-DOS, al zijn ze
minder dan in de (niet uitgebrachte) versie op PC/SIG 31 en 32.
Deze Forth beschouwt namelijk de hele disk als "eigen", en ziet
de DOS files nauwelijks. Het per abuis vernietigen van de direc-
tory behoort dus tot de mogelijkheden.
8086 Fig - FORTH version 1.X
This is a description of modifications to, and instructions
for use of, 8086 fig-FORTH v1.0; as modified for MS-DOS
In August of 1981, having an 8086, but precious little to
run on it, I began to investigate FORTH as an alternative
programming language. The fig assembly listing for the 8086 was
edited onto disk during April of 1982, using the mnemonics for
Seattle Computer Products 8086 assembler. Once the text
interpreter was running, the disk interface was re-written to run
under SCP's 86-DOS (an alternative and look-alike for CP/M-86,
that later became MS-DOS). In august of 1982, slight modifica-
tions were made to take advantage of features supported by MS-DOS
v1.25.
The original goal was to install a language for my own use.
That is still my primary interest. For this reason, this
version of the language is recommended for people who are
familiar with their computer, and (somewhat less important)
familiar with FORTH. If you are new to FORTH, you will have to
dig for some of the basic information. While it is certainly one
way to learn, it is slow and sometimes frustrating. If you are a
person who enjoys understanding and tinkering with the mechanisms
(read 'hacker'), you should feel right at home. If you are an
experienced FORTH user, you can tell me all the things I did
wrong!
FORTH-H
FORTH-H is another version of MVP-Forth by Glen Haydon. It has
rouhgly the same facilities as the other version on this volume.
There seem to be some more bugs however, e.g. in using double-
sided disks. This version can be assembled using Microsofts /
IBM's Macro Assembler too, opposite to the figForth that needs
the Seattle assembler. (Z.)
