- This disk contains F83.COM, a public domain implementation of FORTH-83 that
- is ready to run. It also contains source files in squeezed format. I have
- squeezed them using the public domain utility SQ and you can unsqueeze them
- with the USQ utility. Squeezed files have a Q in the file type.
-
- The original Laxen-Perry distribution had these files squeezed with a program
- that took hours (!) to run to unsqueeze. USQ will run in minutes and the
- squeezed files take up less space than the original distribution disk. Make B:
- (or C:) your default drive. Have plenty of room on your default drive and then
- type A:USQ20 A:filename.BQK to make filename.BLK on your default drive.
-
- Type CRCK *.* and see if what you have agrees with the values listed below.
- This should assure you that you have a good copy of the disk.
-
- The VIEW word expects certain source blocks to be on drive A: and certain
- source files to be on drive B:. If you have a hard disk system, you can
- follow the directions in README.80 to recompile your system with all of the
- source blocks on your hard disk and the VIEW file numbers will be set up
- correctly.
