- This disk contains a forth compiler for the Motorola MC86000 and
- an updated version of ATARIBUS.LBR which allows one to connect an Atari
- and a CP/M computer. We had previously thought it of enough interest to
- release a version of it found on a bulletin board. However, the author,
- Dave Walker, pointed out that the full version (which is on this disk) is
- needed to install this system if you don't have a BDS "C" compiler. We
- do not have enough room on the disk to add LU.COM so that you can remove
- the file from the library. However, it is available on SIG/M volume 156
- as well as on many disks that contain .LBR files. Dave's memo and
- Ray Buvel's memo on the Forth compiler are set forth below.

- FORTH based compiler for Motorola MC68000 by:
-
- Raymond L. Buvel
- Box 3071
- Moscow, ID 83843
-
- This disk contains a compiler for the Motorola MC68000 that compiles a subset
- of the FORTH language. The files are as follows:
-
- M68K.DOC
- Text of an article describing the compiler that was sent to Dr. Dobb's
- Journal. This article should be read before doing anything else.
-
- LIST1.LST
- LIST2.LST
- LIST3.LST
- Listings refered to in the above article.
-
- M68COMP.SCR
- FORTH source code for the compiler. This code was developed and tested
- on Laboratory Microsystems Z-80 FORTH version 1.14 but should be
- transportable to any fig-FORTH or FORTH-79 system with little
- modification. This file is a random access screen file supported by
- Z-80 FORTH. LIST2.LST contains a listing of this file in a format that
- can be printed or edited with any CP/M editor.
-
- SCREEN.C
- SCREEN.COM
- Utility program for producing a listing of a Z-80 FORTH screen file.
- Note.. the screen file can contain no unallocated screens or this
- utility will not work properly nor will PIP and many other routines.
- This program can be compiled with C80 from The Software Toolworks. To
- reproduce LIST2.LST type SCREEN <M68COMP.SCR >LIST2.LST
- Note that the input and output can be redirected to any device
- supported by CP/M.

- I recently discovered that a ATARI to CP/M interface package
- which I had written has been contributed to the SIG/M library. I
- did not contribute it but I had planned to contribute it whenever
- I got ambitious enough to fill out the form and drop it in the
- mail with a diskette. Being slow about these things I would not
- have gotten around to it for a while so I was glad to hear that
- someone went and did it for me. However it has come to my
- attention that several files were removed from the ATARIBUS.LBR
- file which are critical to installing the package on a system
- when the BDS "C" compiler is not available. Some of the files
- affected were:
-
- AS.COM
- AS.SYM
- AMON.COM
- AMON.SYM
- AFC.COM
-
- I have received a few letters and phone calls requesting the
- missing files and in the hopes of making things easier on anyone
- wanting to implement the system I have included on this diskette
- another copy of the ATARIBUS.LBR file which includes the missing
- files. I would appreciate it if you could somehow replace the
- previously released version with this version.
-
- As a long time user of public domain programs I am happy
- that I can start to repay my debt by having one of my programs
- included on a SIG/M disk and I hope to be sending you more
- material as soon as I get ambitious enough to finish off some of
- it.
-
- Thank you for the interest please continue the great job.
