Thomas, > ETH indeed changed the link. The correct one is https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/oberon > > I also updated the link on the Oberon site map. Right oh. Thanks. Now, I open that listinfo page above with no problem. Under heading "About the Oberon List" the second line contains links "native-oberon (archive)". The target of archive is http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/native/archive whereas probably it should be http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/native/archive . I didn't scan the site. Other links might need the change from oberon to ethoberon. Good choice of name by the way! Best regards, ...

Hello Thomas, Thanks for your prompt reply. > The old Oberon page and all its content is available at > www.ethoberon.ethz.ch including the file you are referring to. I opened http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/, at the upper left clicked "Site Map" and then clicked "Oberon discussion list". This error message appeared. "Server not found Iceweasel can't find the server a www.lists.inf.ethz.ch. ..." Seems the target of the link needs adjustment. I tried a few variations of the address without success. Regards, ...

Hello, This morning I searched for an archive of the old mailing list and found nothing. This is the reference from late 2001 or early 2002. http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/native/archive/565.txt Is there any way of retrieving it? Thanks, ...

Forth and Pberon

> > Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: FORTH (erikc) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > > No. But this might be helpful if you are willing to translate from C. > > http://ficl.sourceforge.net/ficl.html > > erikc There is another C-one http://sourceforge.net/projects/fork001/ using only 12 (!) assembler commands afaik. First i sent the original question to Mr. Sedlacek, he posted it here, so here my 5 cents: The idea behind was not only to write a Forth interpreter in Oberon, but to use Forth as intermediate assembler. As at the Oberon day some suggested for example a P-code interpreter or similar. Mr Ertl published some years ago (1997) a paper for an Oberon Forth parser: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/papers/ertl97.ps.gz There are some Forth processors for FPGAs around. http://www.ultratechnology.com/4thvhdl.htm For the Propeller parallel processor there is a Forth available http://code.google.com/p/propforth/ and even Chuck Moore the inventor of Forth is no selling a processor http://greenarraychips.com/ with 144 cores each running a forth interpreter. Other Forth interpreters are also commercial available for several embedded systems. for example http://www.forth.com/swiftforth/ I know that at the ETH a parallel Oberon on FPGA project is running for directly generating VHDL from an High Level Oberon Style language. But maybe a Forth generator as intermediate step will make things less complicate. And as resumee of the Oberon Day 2011, i for mee learned, that we need the most simply tools with clear and straight forward interfaces to solve the "software crisis". Kind Regards Markus Greim
