ColorForth for Windows Downloads
http://www.geocities.com/eleks_76/
http://www.colorforth.com/cf.html Read each page twice.
First time read page then read page following the links.
Read every page again then sleep.
Your assumptions will get in the way of understanding at first.
Comments:
Use enter key instead of alt key because windows insists on also using
the alt key adding confusion. There is provision to call DLL
functions from ColorForth for Windows that works on 2000 or windows XP.
On Windows 98, Colorforth accepts messages from other applications and
may cause a crash or other unwanted modifications of source.
If you need to run on 98, close other applications before running
colorforth.
As you have questions, ask.
We can use your help.
