Re: FIG-Forth on CP/M

Hello again,

Andrew, Albert, Ed and David, thank you very much for all your suggestions and pointers.

I have successfully obtained FORTH-NL, unpacked it using the CFX utility, and jumped through the required hoops to get the files onto an HP formatted disk that can be read by my HP-86B.

Since my HP-9121 disk drive has 2 whopping 270K 3.5 inch disks, it was no problem to PIP the 3 source files together and get the code assembled.

I now have FORTH-NL running and the STARTUP.FRT file is a *huge* help to get started.  Also, the .DOC file was very helpful in pointing out how to enlarge the STARTUP file.

Next will come some playing around with the editor.  I will have to see what changes will be needed to make it go on my HP-86B.  If everything fails, I can always type in the simple line editor again.

Thank you all, also, for the advice on screen numbers, and what goes where, and things to avoid.

I do have a question about the STARTUP file:  when I look at that file in ED, the lines seem to be all strung together with no carriage returns.  If I were to create my own STARTUP file from scratch in ED, and the file had carriage returns in it, would that matter?

Thanks, once again, to you all, for the terrific assistance and support.
