6805 eForth - C.H. Ting The 6805 is a terrible micro-processor to run forth on: the stack pointer can not be read and it has neither push nor pop instructions. However, Ting has converted Skip Carter’s 6805 RasForth to eForth. Now. the real challenge will be to optimize this eForth to run as fast as the 8051 subroutine threaded eforth, but with a crippled stack. |

The Latest in the Scientific Library - Skip Carter The Forth Scientific Library is 4 years old and contains 51 high quality implmentations of various algorithms that have been accepted and many more contributions awaiting review. The library has had an influence both inside and outside the Forth community. A discussion will examine what it has done and where it is going and review its specific coding and documentation requirements. |
