WORDn } to declare cases for values of 0...n rather than the usual ANS Forth CASE ... OF ... ENDOF ... ENDCASE syntax 19:20:48 of course the book was written at a time where the standard then was F83 19:31:02 Hi tabemann 19:32:03 F83 was actually a particular Forth implementation based on the 83 Forth standard 19:34:05 The { word ... wordn } thing sounds more like a jumptable than a case statement 19:40:15 I didn't know that about F83 versus 83 Forth 19:40:33 and yes, the { word ... wordn } thing did seem like a jumptable 19:42:06 I'm leafing through the book now... brb 19:42:48 There's an appendix that's a tutorial for their CAM Forth 19:43:30 I saw Appendix A in the book 19:43:38 which was a brief overview of Forth 19:44:46 It's a block based Forth, based on the Forth-83 standard 19:47:01 Most likely it's a variant of F83 since they refer to Ting's "Inside F83" booklet 19:50:28 ah 19:51:08 it's interesting that it's block based, since it's a hosted Forth; are they using one big blockfile then? 19:52:37 Yes, F83 ran on DOS 19:55:10 It was a public domain Forth based on the Forth-83 standard 19:56:03 It was an attempt to create something similar in spirit to FIG-Forth but on the new standard 19:58:35 It's sometimes referred to as Laxen & Perry's F83 19:59:09 ah 19:59:25 kinda like how eforth attempted to do the same thing later 19:59:36 It originally ran on CP/M before DOS 20:00:19 Right, and Gforth for the current standard I guess 20:00:45 Forth 83 seemed kinda anachronistic when it appeared, because it codified 16 bit cells, when 16 bit was already showing signs of heading the way out (as shown by 68K and 80386) 20:01:16 wait 20:01:20 80386 was '85 20:01:26 but still 20:01:33 68K showed that 32 bit was the future 20:01:45 even if 68000 was hardware-wise 16 bit 20:02:42 okay, I've gotta go 20:02:43 16 bit was still dominant, and 8 bit in embedded 20:02:49 --- quit: dddddd (Remote host closed the connection) 20:02:54 the coffee shop I'm at is closing 20:03:00 Ciao 20:03:00 I'll be back on shortly 20:07:33 --- quit: tabemann (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) 20:49:05 --- join: gravicappa (~gravicapp@h178-129-21-185.dyn.bashtel.ru) joined #forth 20:58:38 --- join: tabemann (~tabemann@2600:1700:7990:24e0:b944:a349:56b9:12fb) joined #forth 21:20:50 --- quit: dave0 (Quit: dave's not here) 22:53:31 --- join: mtsd (~mtsd@94-137-100-130.customers.ownit.se) joined #forth 23:15:11 --- join: dave0 (~dave0@069.d.003.ncl.iprimus.net.au) joined #forth 23:16:43 re 23:29:01 --- quit: nighty- (Quit: Disappeared in a puff of smoke) 23:29:08 Hi dave0 23:36:04 --- join: nighty (~nighty@b157153.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) joined #forth 23:44:26 hi rdrop-exit 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/19.05.26
