Archive-name: ForthFaq/SUN Last-modified: 26.May.93 Version: 1.3 Where can I find a Forth for the SUN? From: wmb@ENG.SUN.COM Subject: Forth for Sun Message-ID: <9104091314.AA16846@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 9 Apr 91 01:11:31 GMT I know of four Forth's that run on Suns, in increasing order of price: a) Open Boot PROM - built-in to the SPARCstation PROMs. Inaccessible from the Unix environment; you have to interrupt the boot process and then type "n" to get to Forth. b) TILE - shareware, $50 suggested contribution to Mikael Patel. Written in C, runs on Suns. Available from the net, but I'm not sure how to get to it from your site. Maybe somebody else knows. c) C Forth 83 - $75 from Bradley Forthware. Written in C, runs on several machines. Tape or floppy. d) Sun Forth - $200 from Bradley Forthware. Written in metacompiled Forth/assembler. Unix version of the Forth in the SPARCstation PROMs, with extensions. Tape or floppy. Mitch Bradley, wmb@Eng.Sun.COM [TILE is also posted to alt.sources and should be available through any of the alt.sources archives. Also, see FAQ Part 11 for more info on accessing other libraries, many of which also have TILE available. -dwp] --- If you have any questions about ForthNet/comp.lang.forth or any information to add/delete or correct in this message or any suggestions on formatting or presentation, please contact Doug Philips at one of the following addresses: Internet: dwp@willett.pgh.pa.us Usenet: ...!uunet!willett.pgh.pa.us!dwp GEnie: D.PHILIPS3
