Richard T Russels "fixes".. #3
Description
Richard T Russel, implemented some fixes and enhancments to bring Jones Forth into line with the ANS standard, when porting it over to run under a BBC BASIC for Windows host (Win32). the package for Windows 32bit is here.: www.rtr.myzen.co.uk/bb4wforth.zip)
You may wish to consider examining that code. Not sure if you've uncounted (the propriatery) BB4W before, but a LOT of the system calls it's uses are 'translations' from equivalently named ones in the ancient Acorn MOS on the BBC Micro, and if developing an ARM version for RISC OS, the translations should be straightforward to perform.
(I have my own reasons for wanting to see a resanably modern minimlaist FORTH on Linux and RISC OS. Namely that given enoguh volunteer effort, a very old studio-synth tool called AMPLE can finally be brought into the modern era. FORTH+Wavetable synthesis = Awsome :) )
