This archive is based on the generic figforth ``fig86.gnr''. See www page below. Copyright as per those pages apply. You may want to download the archive, if only for the documentation. This archive is a service for those unable to generate the sources themselves. It contains only the 32 bit protected mode msdos version with modern i/o. For version numbers see the source and the boot message. It is assembled at address 7c00 that must be available, i.e. not occupied by DOS or some resident program. So your config.sys looks like the one supplied, and you must run a DOS that supports HIMEM.SYS. The generic forth is made to run on MSDOS 3.3 also, but this requires loading at a higher address, and doesnot work yet.
If you want to modify and rebuilt it, you need the excellent nasm assembler , I myself used version .98 . This assembler is available for Linux and MSDOS.
Content : forth32.asm nasm source forth32.com binary msdos9.cfg configuration file 1) BLOCKS.BLK blocks config.sys use this on e.g. msdos 6.22 and it will work.1) "make fig86.msdos9.bin" generates the above source and binary under Linux. "nasm forth32.asm" generates the binary from the above source under MSDOS.
Bugs in version 2.148 (old but still there probably)
