        Following is a copy of a message that Leon Heller posted to the
        list on the 17th Jan...

=A few days ago Mike Watson posted details of a Forth compiler for the
=C84. I downloaded it and tried it out, and was pleasantly surprised to
=find that it seems to be quite usable. It came with a demo program that
=repeatedly outputs a message via RA0 at 9600 baud serial. The demo
=program compiled and assembled without any problems, and appeared to
=output serial data when I put a 'scope probe on RA0. It doesn't seem to
=have a word defined for serial input, so I might have a go at that for
=myself. In-line assembler can be used for speed-critical code, like
=serial I/O.
=
=It is available from:
=
=        ftp://ftp.taygeta.com/pub/Forth/Misc/
=
=Get the self-extracting archive file F2PIC.EXE.
