Brouhabouha Forth
I've prepared a repackaged distribution of Brouhabouha Forth, a Forth-94 Forth system for QL, written by Ewald Pfau in 1991-1994. Main changes: The QDOS header of the executable was lost, and it has been restored. The documentation has been edited and manually converted to Asciidoctor (then automati...

Re: Email list about Forth on Sinclair computers
I've just seen this and those numbers would seem about right. I presume you obtained those numbers via a disassembler. If so could you send the disassembly of the machine code to me or make it available somewhere so I can compare it with the assembler source on GitHub. Apart from different register...

Re: SMSQmulator and Raspberry Pi 2
I've installed Oracle Java 8 (it's in the non-free component of the Raspbian repositories), and SMSQmulator for Java 8 runs 200% faster than the version for Java 7 running on open-jdk 7. I'm using Raspberry Pi 2. I wonder if this makes SMSQmulator usable on Raspberry Pi 1. Anybody can try?

It's version 1.8, newer than the one originally published. https://github.com/gerryjackson/QL-Reversi There are Forth sources of chess an go games, easy to find on the web, but as far as I know there's no other r...

QL SuperForth descendant on GitHub
Gerry Jackson has put on GitHub the sources of his almost finished QL SuperForth cross-compiler, which he started based on the original SuperForth. Most of the sources are common, so it's most useful to understand SuperForth. https://github.com/gerryjackson/QL-SuperForth Probably also the sources of...

Re: Email list about Forth on Sinclair computers
>...source code of the meta-compiler I mentioned on GitHub. Look forward to that. https://github.com/gerryjackson/QL-SuperForth I only had a passing interest in Forth until a few years ago when I started to understand it from the ground up by looking at how others had implemented it from scratch. V...

Re: Forth source converters, now also for QL SuperForth
I do also use PI, mine is version 1 model B which is mono-core. I read new PI 2 is quad-core, I wonder how much faster I can get with PI 2? I used RPi 1 B for a long time, as my main computer, but one day its HDMI output ceased working. Then I ordered a RPi 2. The speed increase is c. 6x. For examp...

Re: Email list about Forth on Sinclair computers
I'll have a look again now I've finished PNG decoder (horrid format - makes JPEG and GIF look like model of good design, even though they preceded PNG :? ) We are discussing the disassembling of some SuperForth code words in the email list. So far I've seen nothing strange. In fact I'm considering ...
