2021-10-15 09:30:36 <hmw[at]     > Hey! I was looking for a channel about retro computing. Guess Forth is fine too :)
2021-10-15 09:34:01 <rick_carlino1> While they are definitely different topics, they're not _that_ different.
2021-10-15 09:34:24 <rick_carlino1> I once ran RetroForth on a real 386 and it worked pretty well given the resource constraints.
2021-10-15 09:34:35 <rick_carlino1> It was the DOS version. I think I was running DOS 5.x
2021-10-15 09:37:11 <hmw[at]     > Hm. I never really used Forth before. Perhaps I'll get a version for my C64

2021-10-15 09:38:27 <hmw[at]     > Roll my own interpreter perhaps?
2021-10-15 09:43:21 <rick_carlino1> Yes that's an option, though there are indeed a few C64 forths floating around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XdgUK1NbpI&list=WL&index=14&t=443s
2021-10-15 09:43:51 <eli_oat     > lol, I was literally looking through my history for that same link!
2021-10-15 09:45:23 <rick_carlino1> :-P

2021-10-15 09:50:37 <crc         > durexforth for c64 is claimed to be fast for the hardwar
2021-10-15 09:53:18 <hmw[at]     > "Includes a vi clone written in Forth, a high-resolution graphics library, plus MML music support." Sounds interesting
2021-10-15 09:53:51 <hmw[at]     > running at ~50x the speed of Basic V2 - wow
2021-10-15 09:59:48 <crc         > I haven't tried it (I have no c64), but it's on my list of systems to look at eventually
