While the recent distribution of Princeton FORTH is still fresh
on our computers, I've been evolving a list of "how do you do it"'s
and was wondering if any of you out there have had similar problems/
successes:
1. How do I implement the equivalent of ?TERMINAL ?
2. How can I implement my own control structures ( such as Charles Eaker's
CASE statement ) without resorting to otherwise unknown assembly language?
3. Is it absolutely impossible (under UNIX or on a VAX) to implement the
capability to re-save FORTH after an application has been compiled?
(useful when writing canned applications invoked from the O.S. - there's
no need for some users to know what language it was written in, and
there's little need to wait for your editor to compile EVERY time you
enter FORTH )
Except for these problems, I find Princeton FORTH an excellent version,
and FAST!.
