List of CF compatible hardwareHey list,
It's been kind of quiet here lately. Anyway, I remember I had previously come across a list of hardware tested to work with CF (I think it was version 1 but that's okay). Does anyone remember and have the url for what I'm talking about? Thanks. And if you have any recent hardware experiences with CF 2 please do share. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: colorforth-unsubscribe@...

It actually exists. We had one presented at a Dutch Forth chapter meeting. But I fear that the the availabity will dwindle very soon.

Another Crazy Colorforth ProjectSpeaking of what hardware CF runs on, I've recently demoed my new colorforth inspired environment here in Buffalo, and am taking names and email addresses for a closed beta (launched this month).
I took some inspiration from Brad Nelson's Rainbow Forth and Charles Chidlers's Retro forth, and I've implemented a colorforth like language compiler in javascript. Unlike Rainbow and Retro, you program a colorforth in a webbrowser and then press CMD-C to compile it to a native binary, (CMD-E evaluates). Intel x86 is currently working, and I'm going to finish up the AVR32 this month before the official launch. I've also got a Javascript/Self style object model working with the compiler, so editing objects uses a simple slot based structured editor, and inheritence is prototype based which works very well with Forth idioms. As an added bonus, I'm working on a translator that allows you to type Javascript and have it auto converted to Newscript. So you can build objects in a shared programming environment, and then compile them to native or emulate in the browser depending on if you want speed or not. For the time being, I'm only supporting Safari and Firefox, (IE will probably never work), and I'm producing native binaries for Linux, *BSD, and Mac OS X. You can also produce raw binary images for use on embedded hardware, or for dedicated machines. The x86 compiler is 129 lines of javascript, and can be ported to any other architecture with 44 lines of code. It runs fast enough that compilation of pretty much every program I've written, including a native newscript compiler in newscript, is practically instantaneous. My goal for this project is to put a powerful compiler in the hands of every kid with a webbrowser. More over, you don't need to install any software to run it, so you can create binaries on a public library computer. Also as the tool is collaborative, multiple kids can all work on the same project at once, which will help them teach each other. Ultimately, a system like this is terribly disruptive of the current industry model of computing. It bring Forth to the masses :) Dave PS. If anyone on this list is interested in helping out with the beta, let me know. I'd like to have this launched soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: colorforth-unsubscribe@...

Re: List of CF compatible hardwareNothing personal, but I've never seen any reference to Chuck Moore being
dissatisfied with the TPL Group. As far as I know, Mr. Moore consented happily to whole arrangement. I've heard qualified people comment on the TPL Group before -- they are no patent troll. How did you come to the conclusion that the arrangement is exploitative of him?

Re: List of CF compatible hardwareI stand corrected.
Thank you very much for the information. This is sad. Mr. Moore, Mr. Fox, et al have done so much innovating -- you think they would have had smooth sailing but instead there is obstacles at every corner. What a shame.

Re: List of CF compatible hardwarehttp://www.colorforth.com/vTPL.htm
is deleted now, and no record of it on the web archive page must be what Mr. Moore or his lawyer wants. Good luck to them. moral of the story: be careful who you chose as your biz partner? moral of the story: when you do something good, others will try and exploit you under the guise of partnership? but a more ontopic question: does anyone have a sense of how difficult it would be to implement ascii compatibility in CF? end application would be implementing the http protocol on a webserver, written in CF On Tue, 7 Apr 2009 00:58:59 -0700 (PDT), "Dennis Wilson" <dennisleewilson@...> said: > > At http://www.colorforth.com/ Charles Moore has posted this: > > Moore v TPL > My association with TPL has resulted in a lawsuit.

Then you could do anything with it, including a webserver, that you can do with any other Forth. I was working on this when other pressing matters pushed it to the back burner. Of course, the TCP/IP stack, or a working subset thereof, will probably have to be written from the NIC interface on up the ladder. -- John Comeau <jc@...> http://jc.unternet.net/ "A place for everything, and everything all over the place" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: colorforth-unsubscribe@...

Re: List of CF compatible hardwareThe project is still in the planning phase. I'm trying to see if I can
coerce two colleagues of mine to join it. Thanks for the reply. We would be writing our own TCP/IP stack. Didn't Chuck say something about how he is going to write a web browser one day?

colorforth.comThe colorforth website was updated in April several times -- the last
two changes I noted were on Apr. 14th and Apr. 17th (based on the date Mr. Moore wrote on the top of the page). However, I didn't notice what changed on the 14th or the 17th -- am I missing something? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: colorforth-unsubscribe@...
