I just bought a copy of FF#9 specifically for the MVP-FORTH but
I'm having a few problems...
Has anyone else tried to use it ???
FORTH loads and runs fine but I can't access any screens. Several
files are included e.g. MVPAMIGA.SCR which are screens but I don't
know how to access them !!!
HELP !!!!

If itsx FF#9 it was probably written for V1.1 of Wb. I assume you
are using Wb 1.2. That might be the problem.

Well, I was worried about it being for 1.1 only too, but.... I managed
to figure out the required commands last night.
to open an existing file of screens:
" foo.bar" old file ( to open existing file foo.bar )
to create a new file of screens:
" foo.bar" new file ( to create the file foo.bar, empty )
followed by:
100 larger ( to create 100 screens in the current file )
And it does work, complying fully with FIG79, and including a full
screen editor.
It isn't particularly fast, but the opening screen does admit that
it isn't optimised.

It's funny. I did some *real* basic stuff with Forth on the VIC 20 some years back (4-5?). Back then, it seemed to make perfect sense (comming from a Assemble lover...(who's converted to C :-)) Now I see examples in the magazines and in here, and I'll tell you, this stuff must scare off beginner programmers real well! I mean, almost all languages make *some* logical sense even if you don't know the language, but Forth? John (just my opinions) | |||||
