Re: [colorforth] Bochs & colorForth

["George D. Plymale" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

I would appreciate the image!  Also, another thing that may even be more
useful for me is to have the patched color.com as I use Virtual PC on my Mac
and am curious as to whether it will work with your patch as well.

Chuck says that he's working on an updated version that works with more
computers, but has run into difficulties getting it to run as he wished.  He
said he'll work on it, but its not currently a high priority due to some
other things.

Thanks,

-George
