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....
