[colorforth] Re: Port Howerd ;)

["Ray St. Marie" <ray.stmarie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please disregard the last post. 

First of all, I described the task completely incorrectly.
Secondly, a better combination of code was found.
Thirdly, IT WORKED GREAT but would not save.

Infact each time i've `saved' , I caused the disk to be useless till
re-format and re-loading on to the disk.

I was able to run applications. Editor, Mandelbrot, xx, wood, icons,
dump, well, everything on the list . Interupts caused me to reboot,
I'm not sure what it's supposed to do yet. :)

make the disk by `D'ownloading ( not `u`-- yikes) first cfdos4.blk,
then `ctrl-D'ownloading the boot section of C4.blk. C4.blk, being
created from Terry's masm colorforth. Taking Boot.asm and changeing
`nc' var to 18 then runing gc4.bat, which creates the new c4.com file,
I renamed it to c4.bat and downloaded 18 of its blocks right over the
cfdos4.blk image on the disk and booted.
