San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 11 I am currently working on a FORTH simulation in C for personal use. The main difficulty so far is using direct memory access and management. The more I write, the more I realize I should have used assembly language. As is, I probably won't be able to push bytes, words, and doubles on the same stack and still have a decent speed. Since UNIX has little assembly language support, I am stuck writing an inferior version. It will still be a while before I am done and will be mainly used to try out FORTH programs that I run across in magazines or at conferences. If there is a decent version somewhere out there I would appreciate comments and hints.
