Do you have it online somewhere? 1988 is a bit old ;-). The "command line mode" of the b16 cross compiler is a one-liner, so the tradeoffs made here was the shortest possible code that could give an interactive command line. The whole b16 project was started to find out how Chuck's new ideas fit in, and accept significant deviations from classical Forth for the sake of simplicy. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://bernd-paysan.de/
