[Coco] PD-10 Forth

Mystery SOLVED !

Thank you.

PD-10 SuperForth is indeed the "forth.zip" in disks/programming on the archive.

I believe SuperForth is on the archive named as "forth.zip" (disks/programming)

Maybe load your PD10 bin into notepad to see if any text will give some clues.

Here's an update on what PD-10 Forth is NOT.

In what little documentation I found on the old disk (which BTW doesn't seem to mention any publisher or publication date, and which does not display any Copyright notice), I noted that it was also called PD-10 SUPERFORTH.

I came across an ad for a SUPERFORTH published by Quasar Animations in San Diego (cf. the ad on page 77, January 1984 issue, Color Computer Magazine: Quasar Animations, 1520 Pacific Beach Drive, San Diego, CA 92109).

But, when I contacted Quasar SUPERFORTH's author, David (Talin) Joiner, he confirmed that the two Forths were NOT the same, and that he had never heard of PD-10 SUPERFORTH.

Sigh :-(
