IPC FORTH Disc

			     GVG / 12 February 1987

Welcome to the IPC FORTH disc!

Unfortunately, all I can offer you right now is a welcome ... I'm still doping
this thing out myself; eventually I should have this thing fully documented,
but, until that time, I must sadly tell you that you are on your own.

Some things to help get you started, though:

   * The "rdforth" and "wrforth" utilities are used to translate FORTH screens
     to and from something a text editor can understand.

   * Any standard text on FORTH should do fine as an introduction - Leo
     Brodie's STARTING FORTH is the best-known, I believe.  The README file
     gives a quick-reference on the exact details of this FIG-FORTH
     implementation.

   * The assembler is part of FORTH and is used to fine-tune FORTH routines.
     The documentation is lousy (even the author - not myself, by the way - 
     admits it) but it will be some time before I can take corrective action.

   * There are provisions for using IPC Device I/O Library with this
     implementation of FORTH but the documentation is negligible.  Again,
     someday I'll take corrective action.

Sorry to give you half a loaf, but I figured it wiser than waiting until a full
loaf was available ...
