Finally running with new software Apple IIe

Hi If you want to fiddle with Forth, I believe Starting Forth is online now. It is a fun book to go through and is applicable to most versions of Forth. The exception might be the varies editors used with screens rather than sequencial files. Most of the early ones such as found on the Apple II would most likely be screens. Stacks are not overly efficient on the 6502 but better than on the 8080. Stack processors never seem to catch on too much, even though they are fast. I have a 4MHz Novix chip that can do sorts faster in Forth than a 33 MHz 386 can do in machine code. Sorting 1K 16 bit integers in 19 ms. Like many DSPs, it can combine several instructions in a single clock cycle and operate 2 data busses at the same time. Dwight
