TCOM is a Target COMpiler written by Tom Zimmer that is GREAT for creating
small .COM applications in Forth. TCOM is Public Domain.
INSTALL.COM will walk you through installation of TCOM onto your hard-
-disk. You get to pick the drive and directory, but you need at least
1.5meg of disk space. The install program will by default make a directory
called TCOM, with additional SRC and SAMPLES directories under it. More
than 30 example source files are included, look through the SAMPLES
directory after installation. Some of the example programs included are:
SZ, a small text editor, CARD, a cardfile database, SHELL, a mini DOS
shell, CLOCK, a bar graph/Roman numeral clock, DRAW, a simple VGA
drawing program and others. Read the *.DOC files for a full description of
how to use TCOM.
TRY IT !! See how easy it is to make stand alone program written in FORTH!!
TCOM even has Floating Point, plus Graphics support for Color and Hercules!!
TCOM now also includes a source level debugger for debugging compiled TCOM
programs called BUG.COM. Just type "BUG
help.
TCOM also includes a file called TCOMUSER.PRN that is ready to print on
any printer and will produce a reasonable indexed 100+ page users manual.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
