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).
