Hi group !

what is the best solution tu run intellasys seaforth emulator on eeepc
(xandros linux) ?

allbeit intellasys provides 3 flavours of the simulator (gforth,
swiftforth, vfx forth), neither of this 3 can be used :

- gforth as to be cross-compiled (I don't want to install development
tools on eeepc) and there is a mess with glibc ...(good luck) (but
everything ok on a laptop/ubuntu)

- vfxforth is ok on eeepc, but simulator code is for the windows
edition...

- swiftforth is a windows aplli

lina too can't run that simulator...

I try to hack the code (vfxlin + gforth simulator), but I am a forth
neewbee... and there are some non trivial dialect subtilities...

: symbol? ( sym -- c-adr len ) \ symbol lookup; not found if len = 0
!sd \ rsl debug check stack depth on entry
symbols /sym-entry + 'symbol @ do
i csymbol ! >sdata @ over = if ( sym)
node @ >snode @ = if ( node & sym match)
drop >sname count
unloop exit
then
then
/sym-entry negate +loop \ERROR HERE CONTROL STRUCTURE MISMATCH
drop s" " \ empty string if not found
1 chsd ;

IMHO this is that kind of mess that could kill the best tools...

thanks for help and advice...
