Thanks. Not sure about relevant :) It's nevertheless interesting to
see the odd
user get some use out of it. Even more of an eyebrow raiser is when
they go along
with archaisms such as screens for source.

When I was forced to do line by line including of source,
I needed buffers to hold a piece of the files.
The buffers used for blocks are perfectly suited for this.

Not to mention that a 16 by 64 block of code is a perfect
match for Forth, for a multi purpose library.

Personally I love the editing environment screens afford - small,
modular, no information overload.

You need video mode 3 set by BIOS call 10.
To my surprise dosbox supports direct screen access, e.g.
42 B0000 C!
puts a B in the upper left corner.
This allows a graphics editor based on the ^E ^S ^D ^X diamond pattern,
etc. ^Y removes a line but it stack up outside the 16 lines and
can be put any where with ^U etc.
This is part of my the library of ciforth, but it only runs on
the 16 version of ciforth (mina).
(this was first implemented on my Osborne, a CP/M system).

Very impressive. Nice to see CP/M supported.
Will it run on later versions of DOS past 2.x ?

Yes - I should have been more clear. For a long time it was developed
under Win98 in a DOS window. 2.x support is probably the tentative one.

Also, I seem to have some trouble with the floating point.
Keep getting f-stack error messages, which the manual says are
under/over flows.


1 9 / <return> returns a zero, not the expected 0.11111

So, I'm guessing the F* (etc.) are the floating point arithmetic.
3 5 F* <return> however gives an "f-stack" error. 15 is an overflow?

And not sure how to enter decimals, I though maybe entering a ".0" after
my numbers would flag them as reals not integers, but...
3.14 2.96 <return> does not put both numbers on the stack

Maybe I'm not doing it right, I'm just doing what's intuitive to me.
And yes, I'm running FORTH-F. This is the DOS version.
Please help a wayward user....
