Re: [colorforth] colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows use

[Nick Maroudas <alice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jason,

Encouraging that you got Native2 to boot.  I could not,
but as far as I could see by displaying the Native2
floppy (after booting CF05) only the first 9 blocks of
Native2 had code; the rest seemed to be empty. 
Normally "9 nc !" and "0 0 9 write" would save only
these; and this is what I do to save a shortened
version of Native2.  But I have to load/save blocks
from CF05 - can't use Native2 directly. 

Caritas,

Nick
