8-bit FORTH

< Another project in the tapes is an 'OS' based on a Byte book called < 'Threaded Interpretive Languages' - just curious what opionions < are out there about FORTH as an 8-bit os. It seemed like just < the right balance of control - not as terse as assembly, and < not as handcuff'd as BASIC. Forth is a good language for 8bit cpus. It also suffers from a love/hate thing. People either love it or hate it. The Walnut Creek CDrom had several versions of Forth on it including FIG Forth. < APL? Is there a Tiny-C available somewhere? I have Tiny-c Interpreter manual and listings for both PDP-11 and 8080. You would ahve to resolve copyright issues as it's not public domain. It was inexpensive and sources provided but otherwise standard copyright. FYI: it was supplied in many formats Another language was BASEX and that was also a Paperbytes book. It was a cross between asm and basic. It's features were compiled, fast, compact and sources provided. The version I have ran under NS*dos. Allison
