I had to look up that post -- 1993! It seems like an eternity ago. I still have a M100 forth here somewhere (I thought it might have been out of the library here, but maybe I got it off CI$). I never got it running. That was not long before I sold the M100 and went Model T-less for a few years. I picked up a NEC 8201 a few months ago and am back enjoying the simple machines. I can UL what I have. It is source from somewhere, and a big file at that (you know how asm code source spreads across volumes quickly). My comments about hex to .CO were due to not having a PDD and ascii transferring files to an MSDOS box. I used to play with some emulators in college on the PC. Didn't have an assembler for the M100 that I was happy with, and my patience for asm was thin. Asm is interesting, but the concentration to do all that detail work! A few years doing Pascal for a living spoiled me. Let me know if I should look for the Forth (great language BTW, would be a great language/OS for a machine like the Model T's).
