Dunno where to post this 4th stuff...

[Omega-TI]

I was going through a bunch of my stuff, looking for something I did not not find, but I came across this...

... the thing is, from a quick look, it's not fbForth and it does not look like Turbo Forth, it's titled "TE4TH"...

... so I'm putting it here so you 4th gods can figure it out.

That is actually TI Forth. The boot program has been renamed from FORTH to TE4TH, It is a terminal emulator program written in TI Forth to make it easier for BBSers BITD to download TI Forth blocks (screens, in TI Forth parlance) directly to TI Forth disks. IMHO this would not be worth converting to fbForth or TurboForth because of its specialized nature. Here is the information block (block #2—or what should be block #2—see below):

 

TE4TH is a Terminal Emulator for the

FORTH user who wants to download text

or FORTH screens from BBS's or other

compatible computers.

TE4TH was written by me, and is given

to the public domain as FREEWARE with

no restrictions. To get a copy of it,

send me an initialized SSSD diskette

and self-addressed mailer and $5

and I will send you a bootable TE4TH,

source included, and some other FORTH

goodies. Future enhancements are in

the works.

I could not get TE4th to work. It appears to be attempting to load the wrong startup block. Actually, I looked at it a little closer and it appears that, when TE4th loads the startup block (block #3), it is actually loading what should be block #4, line 12. Something is screwy with that disk image.
