Is anyone else into Forth? I dabbled with it when I first had my VIC and now I've started to experiment with it again.
I've build the standard 6502 FIG-Forth and plan to adapt and extend it.
Forth anyone?

Re: Forth anyone?
Did you read the latest articles on filfre.net?
I've always been curious about Forth, but never curious enough to try to implement anything.

Re: Forth anyone?
Thanks for the link, it's a useful and balanced summary for Forth. It appeals to me because it's close to assembler but allows a high degree of extension that you'd get with a high level language.
One of things that held it back were the screen based editing, compared to CBM Basic it was a rather awkward environment. When I get around to it I'll make my implementation more embedded. I'll edit and 'compile' on the PC and just load a pre-built dictionary into the VIC.
