[ColorForth] Chuck Moore to do presentation on OKAD II in Color Forth 4/14

["Michael A. Losh" <forthist@xxxxxxxx>]

I hope you get some good tapes.  I just checked out http://www.enumera.com/
to see what they are saying, because I never heard of them before.  It was
pretty clear that they were working on productizing a MISC chip, without
giving away many details.  They seem strongly attached to FreeBSD... would
they try to run FreeBSD on MISC?  Perhaps NetBSD would be easier to port...
but either seems too big to really fit well on MISC.  Is the Enumera work
being done outside iTVC? Or is iTVC dead at this point?

Back to ColorForth:  I am currious about how Chuck's latest Color Forth
handles system-level things like disk I/O, RAM allocation, and interfacing
to the 3D accellerator.  How "generic" are these interface routines?  I know
he tends to avoid solving the general problem, but I wonder how flexible
ColorForth is today for a variety of applications.  I don't know if you will
see this email before the presentation, but if these topics do not come up,
perhaps you can try to ask a question or two on my behalf.  I think others
may be interested, like the author of Enth, Sean Pringle.  Thanks.
