- The UNIFORTH Sampler is the first public domain floating-point
- FORTH available for the Z80 CP/M and MS/PC-DOS (including non-clones)
- computers.
-
- This is a solid, full-featured FORTH that is a subset of the
- vendor's more extensive Professional Series. Unlike the
- FIG-FORTHs that are normally seen on bulletin boards, the Sampler
- complies with the latest FORTH-83 Standard. It has many advanced
- features, such as:
-
- * Full software single-precision (IEEE format) floating point,
- including all trig, log, square root, etc. functions. Compact
- and fast, the floating point package is fully integrated into
- the Sampler and can be used as easily as integer arithmetic.
-
- * DOS support. Each version uses the underlying DOS file system
- for containment of FORTH source code and data. You may open, close,
- create, delete, read and write from any file type, including
- ASCII text files. Clock and printer support are also provided.
-
- * A versatile video editor. It can be easily configured to support
- the IBM PC, ADM-3, TV-912, H-19 and VT-100 terminals. Other
- terminal types just require the definition of a half-dozen words.
-
- * Full assembler. Every opcode that is accepted by the processor
- is included.
-
- * Documentation. Over 60 pages of machine-readable text is
- provided on the disk. You may optionally purchase a full, 500+
- page documentation set.
-
- * Fast. Dictionaries are hashed for maximum compile speed.
- Most of the system is written in machine language.
-
- All of the features listed above are missing from public
- domain FORTHs currently available.
-
- The UNIFORTH Sampler is distributed under the "freeware" concept.
- We ask for a $25 donation if you find the program useful. You
- are free to distribute the system to other users and bulletin
- boards, or use it as the basis for your application programs.
- New versions will be released shortly for the Commodore 64,
- Apple II (ProDos), and Macintosh. We also have a 16-page
- catalog free for the asking.
