So... what's a decent tool for running some old forth-79 code? 06:47:19 What platform was the old forth-79 code running on? 06:49:39 ttmrichter: hrm. i don't know. it's from a magazine article. let me see if it says. 06:51:11 ttmrichter: it just says it conforms to the standard, and expects also to have CASE, MYSELF and some comparison operators 06:51:16 I *think* it says sforth 06:51:38 http://t.co/zdMCPtRE (link to the pdf ) 06:52:09 I meant the underlying CPU. 06:52:21 And OS if that's an issue (probably isn't given the era). 06:52:21 yeah, no idea 06:52:36 it's using blocks for storage though 06:52:49 It's called WinSoft83 in the file name. 06:52:53 That's a sign, no? :) 06:52:58 no 06:53:17 theh author's name is Allan Winfield 06:54:18 Ah. 06:54:20 it's pretty generic code. it's basically a small parser/interpreter for embedding pascal-like code in forth 06:54:44 One of the options for you is to just emulate a machine from that era with a Forth environment for it. 06:54:46 i've done my best to transcribe it, and i was just hoping to run it and make sure i had it right before i tried to port it 06:55:34 I'm guessing a Z80 machine emulator would do the trick (like SIMH's Altair emulator). 07:02:23 ttmrichter: huh. i never would have thought of this. thanks. trying it out now. 07:46:33 --- quit: yiyus (*.net *.split) 07:54:20 --- join: yiyus (1242712427@je.je.je) joined #forth 07:54:20 --- mode: ChanServ set +v yiyus 08:18:58 --- join: MayDaniel (~MayDaniel@unaffiliated/maydaniel) joined #forth 08:18:58 --- mode: ChanServ set +v MayDaniel 09:27:28 --- join: ncv (~quassel@unaffiliated/neceve) joined #forth 09:27:28 --- mode: ChanServ set +v ncv 09:30:50 --- join: kumul (~kumul@cvx-ppp-66-50-130-239.coqui.net) joined #forth 09:30:50 --- mode: ChanServ set +v kumul 09:51:26 --- quit: epicmonkey (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 12:00:15 --- join: RodgerTheGreat (~rodger@71-13-215-128.dhcp.mrqt.mi.charter.com) joined #forth 12:00:15 --- mode: ChanServ set +v RodgerTheGreat 12:46:41 --- join: epicmonkey (~epicmonke@188.134.41.171) joined #forth 12:46:41 --- mode: ChanServ set +v epicmonkey 12:59:49 --- join: Onionnion (~ryan@adsl-68-254-173-230.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) joined #forth 12:59:49 --- mode: ChanServ set +v Onionnion 13:48:06 --- quit: kumul (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.9) 13:52:39 --- quit: epicmonkey (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 14:11:30 --- quit: nighty-_ (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 14:12:52 --- join: Onionnion|Eee (~ryan@adsl-68-254-173-230.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) joined #forth 14:12:52 --- mode: ChanServ set +v Onionnion|Eee 14:25:40 --- join: kumul (~kumul@cvx-ppp-66-50-130-239.coqui.net) joined #forth 14:25:40 --- mode: ChanServ set +v kumul 14:29:37 --- join: Nisstyre-laptop (~yours@oftn/member/Nisstyre) joined #forth 14:29:37 --- mode: ChanServ set +v Nisstyre-laptop 14:34:40 --- quit: Nisstyre-laptop (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) 14:49:07 --- quit: MayDaniel (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 15:49:03 --- quit: Onionnion|Eee (Quit: Leaving) 16:16:07 --- quit: Onionnion (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 17:06:04 --- quit: nighty^ (Quit: Disappears in a puff of smoke) 17:27:29 --- quit: ncv (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 18:31:13 --- join: Onionnion (~ryan@adsl-68-254-173-230.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) joined #forth 18:31:13 --- mode: ChanServ set +v Onionnion 19:00:28 --- quit: Onionnion (Remote host closed the connection) 19:02:00 --- join: Onionnion|Eee (~ryan@adsl-68-254-173-230.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) joined #forth 19:02:01 --- mode: ChanServ set +v Onionnion|Eee 21:08:58 --- quit: Onionnion|Eee (Remote host closed the connection) 21:50:43 --- quit: kumul (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.9) 23:31:49 --- quit: RodgerTheGreat (Quit: RodgerTheGreat) 23:51:53 --- join: epicmonkey (~epicmonke@188.134.41.171) joined #forth 23:51:53 --- mode: ChanServ set +v epicmonkey 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/12.10.10
