UUASC OC
Unix Users Association of Southern California
Orange County Chapter
October Meeting
-----------------------------------------------
... Forth ...
-----------------------------------------------
Monday, October 8, 7-9 pm
Printronix
14600 Myford Road, Irvine
At the October UUASC OC meeting, member Dallas Legan will present a talk
on Forth, a relatively uncommon programming language. Dallas will try to
put Forth in perspective in the evolution of modern programming languages.
Forth is one of the few interpreted languages used primarily in embedded
and automatic control applications. It was rumored to have been used
in early Hayes modems: the "OK" prompt is characteristic of Forth.
Forth is used in the ROM monitors for Sparc and PowerPC systems, is the
basis for the *BSD boot loader, and was an influence in the development
of PostScript.
Dallas will try to cover the basics of the language so that you will not
feel lost or disoriented if you meet the FCode "OK" pronpt. There are
several Forth interpreters available for most versions of Unix and Linux,
possibly more than any other language. Your knowledge of any of these,
or of specific uses like the ROM monitors, will be a welcome contribution
to the presentation.
The UUASC is for all persons using Unix either personally or
professionally, or interested in learning more about Unix. We recognize
all varieties of Unix, including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4,
Solaris, AIX, and BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar
interests and broaden your skills and knowledge. Generally, meetings
include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of
current interest to the Unix community and a round-table discussion
of current topics of interest to the group. We are always looking for
interesting presentations and your suggestions are most welcome.
Please join us this month and bring along your friends or
co-workers. Also, please forward this announcement to others who may
be interested and feel free to post it on BBSs, both electronic and
physical. If you receive more than one announcement by email, please
let us know so we can keep our lists current. Thanks for listening.
