Token Threaded eForth - C.H. Ting The goal is to reduce the eForth size to 4k so that it will fit into a 8751 chip. This effort will probably result in a Forth Stamp. |

Introductions, Announcements, Rumors, and Gossip |

Break |
15:00 |
Diskless Linux as a Prelude to a Forth-OS - Skip Carter Skip has built a disk-less Linux system that uses a boot ROM that he installed on a network card. He is not running a Forth-OS yet, but the concepts might prove to be useful for anybody who wants to try a pure Forth-OS. |
16:00 |
Adjournment Post meeting "tea" at a Mt. View coffee house or somewhere else is possible - if it is too early for dinner. "Weird Stuff" is not too far away - most months, a few bargain/oddity hunters gather there after the meeting. |
