The Legacy of Mountain View Press - Kevin
Appert
Andreas Wagner has moved back to Massachusetts. The Proceedings
and other Forth literature have been moved to a storage locker.
- we need rent money while we sort it all out.
- anyone who wants, say, a paper copy of the FORML from 1066
AD, should communicate forthwith.
- anyone who wants to help with sorting, scanning, shipping,
and distributing to institutions, please let me know.

Forth Programming Challenge - Bill
Ragsdale
"This is not a contest, just a Show and Tell. There is no need
to walk through every line of code. Just show the results and summarize the
methods used. Before the meeting, start your Zoom program, activate your
desktop view and practice. This can be presented from a live demo or prepared
slides."
Purpose:
- Have fun,
- Get involved,
- Learn something,
- Program some real Forth
Proposed challenges:
- Print the alphabet “AbCdEfGh . . . z” in
alternating case using three methods.
- Print a table headed by 240 to 249
across with 170 to 179 down. At each intersection show the Largest Common
Divisor. (See Art of Computer Programming V 2, pp 316-321)
- Print the five largest prime numbers less than 10,000.
- Using terminal characters ‘*’ plot x-squared from 1
to 10. Use graphics if available.

- Bob Armstrong - Reva Forth
- Henry Strickland - GForth
- Adam Bricker
- Dave Henderson - Ripple.ip (?)
- Joel Shprentz - GForth on
