Didn't have much time yet to play around with colorForth, and reading through the (mostly assembler) sources wasn't very motivating :) (what a mess). Quite remarkable how you got it run on Linux (must have been fun patching those x86 hex-code macros in the first colorForth blocks, that cannot even be read and edited with any standard editor :) While you're around, could you please clarify the copyright on the files you added? colorForth itself is public domain; but as it stands the GLcolorForth is currently not (at least not legally) re-distributable. A statement that your changes are (L)GPLv2/3, BSD public-domain etc. would just do, I guess. For now my copy is hosted on a private SVN server [1], but I plan to move it to sourceforge/github/whatever. cheers, David [1] http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/opensvn/free/trunk/forth/glcolorforth/ -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
