Re: [colorforth] Hello - and where to begin?

[Nick Maroudas <alice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jason, 

Here are some of the sites (all from googling CF) that I
found helpful at my level of programming.  

Caritas,

Nick

Josh's version of CF05.  I am using the 16bit color,
corrected as per my archive, plus some bits hacked 
from CFDOS4. ly.

 Ray had a hand in the above, and no doubt you'll be
hearing from him.

Tim's informative site.  His version of CF01 with Ray  
(Raystm2) has more goodies than Chuck's original; it
worked first time on my P2 ASUS.  But the CF05s from
Tim's collection didn't work for me.

Howerd's original CFDOS4  (CF01 for DOS) which loads 
from a DOS sys floppy and saves ok.  Useful editor, with
ASCII for checking source code.  Howerd has moved on 
to parallel CF.  

Karig's commentary, enlightening.

John Drake's CF tutorial, (to be continued, I hope)
