Oct 1982 was when FORTH Dimensions magazine, the bi-monthly publication of the Forth Interest Group ( PO BOX 8231, San Jose, CA 95155 ) first published a VAX assembly listing for FIG Forth ... it's currently available from their library of source code listings for $15 in the U.S., item #527 in their catalog at the above address. If Forth 83 is more yer bag, Dr. C.H. Ting has implemented Forth 83 on Vaxen and published the source for the primitives in his _Forth Notebook, Vol. 2_, Offete Press, 1306 South B Street, San Mateo CA 94402 ( $25 ?) VAX assembly source for FIG Forth can be downloaded from the East Coast Forth Board, 703 442-8695 300/1200/2400 24 hrs under the title VAXFORTH.ARC Join your local Forth Interest Group and you won't have to ask these things one *USENET*!
