Dwight,
Thanks for the info. We had numerous projects at Hughes Aircraft written in
FORTH. It's like a dogma. People either love it or hate it. I had a bumper
sticker that said "FORTH LOVE IF HONK THEN". If you have some spare time
could you forward a copy of the emulator ? Thank you very much.
Best regards, Steven
P.S. Quote from Yoda (Star Wars fame) " Learn FORTH quickly I will". (RPN
humor)

Hi Steven
It is an offshoot of fig Forth. I wrote the stuff
under FPC by Tom Zimmer. It is mostly Forth-83.
One could make it work under most any other but
like most Forths of this era, the file access
may be different.
Of course, one can still get FPC from the web.

Dwight,
Is it written in micro-FORTH or FIG FORTH ?
Best regards, Steven

Hi
I thought I'd mention that I've written a simulator
for the 4004 in the environment of a SIM-4. One
could adapt it to most any hardware environment.
It is written in Forth so it can be quite flexible
for someone that knows Forth.
If anyone is interested, I can dig it up. With
a little time to refamiliarize myself with the
code, I can help connect up I/O.
It runs under FPC on a DOS PC platform. There is
a simple assembler and disassembler as well.
For someone wanting to do a 4004 project, it can
be quite useful at debugging code and hardware
concepts.
