[A92] Re: Forth-92 (Was Re: Middle-level language for TI calculators (Part Deux))
I don't know if he ever put it up there, but an address, I think, is
David Kuehling <dvdkhlng@gmx.de>.
David looked at a Forth implementation I did some time back - almost
the clay tablet days - for the Apple GS. I seem to remember he didn't
find it of major help (smile), but I did fumble around with handles
and, if I remeber correctly, it was partly built on a Forth
incremental complier that ran on the Apple II (back to the tar pits).
My only problem is that I haven't had much time for the last few
years to think, must less do some porting. But I am interested in the
conversation and have been *intending* to do something.
