hello and question(s)

[Gil Hauer]

Hi, I just join this list -- what great work you have done!

I'm particularily interested in the fcode tokenizer as (in my novice
view) one needs this to start writing some fcode, right?

Is anyone working on this?

Regards,
Gil

Exactly. It is needed to build the whole firmware code running on the 
evaluator. Meanwhile there are different tokenizers available from
Apple and Codegen, but those are not free so we should work out our
own version.

I've put some preliminary code I wrote until now. It partly tokenizes
fcode, but forth constructs like do..loop or colon definitions are not
tokenized. Their fcode versions are partly implemented though.

Find it under http://www.freiburg.linux.de/OpenBIOS/bin/toke-0.0.tar.gz

As I consider it pretty raw and maybe worth a rewrite using flex/bison
I hadn't put it up to CVS yet.

Any work on toke(and of course the other parts) is welcome!

Best regards,
