PDP-8 forever!

I have part of a basic Forth system going now! There are ancient rumours of a FIG-Forth written for the PDP-8 somewhere, but AFAIK there's nothing online.

I've found a Pascal compiler targeting the PDP-8 based on Pascal-P4. I think it generates bytecode. But the interpreter seems missing: http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp8/pascal/compiler/

On the same site, I've found a "partial Forth interpreter": http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp8/tss8/ (forth.pal). I thought you might be interested.

Thanks, very interesting! More elaborate than mine, but maybe less complete.

Why?

I've ported the Unix v7 C compiler (DMR) to DOS with bcc in six days. Why? I'm a hacker at heart.

Hi elvis70, I'm working on something pdp11 related. I'd love your feedback. My email is on my profile.
