Re: [colorforth] CF in Bochs on a Tecra (corrections)

[Bob Shafer <bobsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try Mark's XcolorForth. It works great. I don't know if other X window
managers can do this, but in ratpoison, which shows windows without window
borders, full-screen, it pretty much looks and acts just like Chuck's
colorForth running native. Highly recommended, if you're running Linux
with X. Plus, you can pretty easily tap into the Linux underneath it all,
if you want.
