- I've been meaning to post a more extensive review, but to start I'm
- simply going to pass along the good news: for only $15 you can have
- a Forth-like kernel written in C, in source, on a floppy, documented
- in an actual book ! The book is called "Write Your Own Programming
- Language Using C++" by Norman E. Smith and is published by Wordware.
- It was easy to turn into straight C (even under VAX/VMS) if you're
- not using something like Borland Turbo C++ (which is what the author
- used). You can buy it directly from FIG at 408/277-0668 (FIG members
- get a discount and they take VISA) or from Wordware at 800/229-4949.
- International people might be able to get it by ISBN 1-55622-264-5.
