p.16 Forth Floating Point Package (p.377 in reprint volume 7)

[author : A. J. Monroe]

For those who prize portability, these Forth routines will prove valuable. But the author also shows readers who already have an assembly language floating-point package how to link that work to Forth, in what may be record time!

p.30 Forth Programming Style (p.386 in reprint volume 7)

[author : N. Solntseff]

The morning after: can you still read the Forth code you wrote the evening before? Do you want to get your work published, but editors keep asking you what your program is supposed to do ? Here is one person’s remedy for such woes...

p.34 Relocating, Linking Loader in Forth (p.388 in reprint volume 7)

p.34 Relocating, Linking Loader in Forth (p.388 in reprint volume 7)

[author : Joe Barnhart]

This is a fine utility for Forth programmers who are tired of waiting more than three minutes to compile an editor, for example, that can be loaded — with this software — in five seconds. It will allow you to link pre-compiled modules and load them at new addresses.

p.42 H-19 Screen Editor in Forth (p.393 in reprint volume 7)

p.42 H-19 Screen Editor in Forth (p.393 in reprint volume 7)

[author : A. S. Woodhull]

The various hardware editing features of the H-19 make it a popular terminal for programmers. This screen editor, written in Forth, takes advantage of them in an easy-to-use way. "What I hope I have created," the author told us, "is an editor that can be used without any additional reference manuals or cards."

p.48 Z8000 Forth (p.398 in reprint volume 7)

p.48 Z8000 Forth (p.398 in reprint volume 7)

[author : Lou Odette]

This article and software will serve those looking for an example of the threaded, interpretive language, as well as those who wish to implement Forth on a Z8000 system. The latter will only have to customize two subroutines handling terminal I/O, but familiarity with Forth is assumed.
