thanks for this thread Ged,
Its my first real brush with FORTH, and you've just explained/confirmed
what I was about to develop wrt antidote's (see other thread) stack
handling. so its seems I am on the right path.
I understood stacks a long time ago with my amiga... I had many stack
overflows in some application and I had to come to grips with a btree
algorythm which was just going in circles. The information required to
program on amiga really forced many developpers to become quality
developpers... you could not overlook linked-lists, semaphores, garbage
collection (pools), resident applications, graphics, there where so many
advanced concepts given directly to you in the api... its still something I
miss somehow. everything was bare and accessible, real control. yet having
everything plainly documented and properly designed, meant that if you
followed the few simple rules... you could litteraly rewrite the OS from the
inside out!
