01 APR 87
1. F83 V2.1.8 Modified 03 APR 87 offers a "small" development
system type improvement borrowed from NGS FORTH.
A. HELLO now clears the screen and gives system info.
B. Full screen editor VED 2.3 is now incorporated.
C. A: thru E: supported with RESET when changing.
D. WHERE is implemented for Auto-EDIT of compile errors.
2. The quit routine part of the core operating system now gives
a constant monitor of the stack DEPTH upon finishing any
operations in the interpretive mode. The present drive is
now shown by quit and CR added to put prompt on seperate line.
3. This was primarily an excercise to find out the success of the
indicated method of creating a new F83.
4. As usual you must modify the instructions to accomplish a system
"build". With KERNEL.COM, EXTEND86.BLK, CPU8086.BLK, and
UTILITY.BLK on the default drive and at least 40k space on the disk:
A. Do "KERNEL EXTEND86.BLK" ( with EXTEND86.BLK
containing any changes or improvements desired ).
B. Upon reciept of the system, Enter "1 LOAD". Shortly
you will have a new F83 system on DEFAULT DRIVE.
5. You should consider adjusting "HELLO" in EXTEND86.BLK ( SCR 15 )
to reflect the existance of a new "modified" F83.
6. NOTE: 2.1.8 + are IBM (and compatible) specific. Using bios
calls instead of MS-DOS for speed.
7. WATCH FOR 2.1.9 which should (might!) support SHELL!
8. Cl and Rfb deserve full credit for VED 2.3 a great full-screen
editor for F83.
