SPECIAL ISSUE CONTENTS

This is a special issue to publish in one place a series of 3 articles commissioned from John Tasgal:

An Introduction to Machine Forth
An Introduction to Color Forth
The BMP Example (.bmp files in Color Forth)

The recent software explorations of the originator of Forth, Charles (Chuck) Moore, have attracted lots of attention in the Forth community. Chuck has given several talks and more information is available on the Ultra Technology web site published by Jeff Fox. A paper on implementing Machine Forth was presented by Reuben Thomas at the 1999 euroFORTH conference. However, there are still details which are difficult to pin down and Chuck has published some code examples that warrant a detailed commentary.

With help from Jeff Fox, John has endeavoured to fill this gap.
