Heard a little about this but can't find a link to the program
anywhere.

Anyone have this?

Thanks

Don't have it, its a Forth-79 in a cartridge. Centsible Software used
to have it, looking at their site it looks like they've gone under
five or more years back, missing links and last (c) in their site is
2003.

Several fig-Forth and Forth-79 soft versions are available, though
they often use REL files to store blocks, which can be tricky in
emulators.

I think that VolksForth was updated to the Forth-94 standard (the
formal language standard that went through ANS and ISO ... the
previous "standards" were more informal efforts).

If you are looking for an image of a cartridge based Forth, google for
64Forth, which was a fig-Forth by Tom Zimmer, who was probably the
most prolific implementer of 6502 based fig-Forth's for late 70's,
early 80's home computer systems.

Of course, fig-Forth is dead slow on the 6502 because its indirect
threaded, and direct threaded is much faster, while subroutine
threaded is faster again. SO the fastest C64 Forth was the subroutine
threaded Blazin' Forth.

I got several of these from the Taygeta Forth archives, but they seem
to be down, and Volksforth is harder to find since that is the German
forth interest group that did that one.

A 64forth.zip and a Volks*.zip can be found at:
