The description of F83 sounds interesting - any way I can see it in action, or use it on my own?


Sure, I git cloned my copy from https://github.com/ForthHub/F83, and it runs fine under DOSBox. If you have Git and DOSBox installed, I think you can just type

    git clone https://github.com/ForthHub/F83
    cd F83
    dosbox .
    f83
    : fish 0 do i . ." fish" cr loop ;  7 fish


Thanks! I'm using this as a guide https://www.forth.org/OffeteStore/1003_InsideF83.pdf. See you in the next forth thread :)


Dr. Ting's book is indeed excellent, but I've learned more from experimentation and from digging into the code than from reading it.
