" Groetjes Albert >... " >... " -- Nick here: I got it from this colorforth list of 2 May 2008 by Jeff Fox, which reads colorforth list readers: the long awaited colorforth 2 has been released ftp://ftp.ultratechnology.com/ColorForth2.0a.zip It defaults to qwerty mode on boot although changing the word qwerty from yellow color to white color on block 18 and doing a save and warm or restarting will return to the familiar quasi-Dvorak keyboard. The editor still uses the old command key layout although new command keys have been added. This is the version that Doug has talked about SVFIG. It comes with documentation and a Windows wrapper. Enjoy Nick here again: The unzipped folder contains a bootloader called CF2.exe and a native CF2a file (in the usual CF format of 18k machine code followed by 90 blocks of CF code - then follows a whole lot of empty blocks up to 1.4k, which makes loading by floppy very tedious so I cut them out). I found that the 'Windows wrapper' CF2.exe can run not only CF2a but also other native CF files (such as CF01 and CF05) as long as I call them 'Okadwork.cf'. This MIGHT make an easy test of your own finally reconstituted CF01 program. Unfortunately, CF2.exe does not boot .com files (for instance, it did not boot Howerd Oakford's CF4DOS.com); so if you wanted to try this new bootloader, you would have to reconstitute in native CF format. In my experience, problems with booting native ant version of CF were due either to my unreliable floppy hardware or to my failure to poke in the correct VESA codes for the VDU card. Alles van die beste, Nick
