The free floating point routines are of great value here !!! Question: Does anyone have a version of Forth for the 8031 that they're prepared to give away? OR Is there anywhere a minimal set of definitions that can be used to bootstrap Forth onto a new microprocessor? I've been reading the discussions on the MINIMAL FORTH with great interest. I've seen various implementations that could be ported but, usually, there isn't a very clear cut list of words that must be implemented in assembler and those that can sit on top of this kernel set. Any help would be much appreciated.
