Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Two questions about FreeBSD: 1) Any good 32-bit Forth implementations available (commercial is ok) with a rich wordset and good links to the operating system? (e.g., analogous to 16-bit HS/Forth, which was custom-written for MS-DOS on the IBM PC, fast, with good links to the operating system and with a rich wordset for strings, graphics and memory management on the Intel processors.) 2) Any opinion about using NetBSD or OpenBSD on an IBM compatible? Would I lose performance from these (I assume) more generic systems? Do either of these other OS's offer advantages (aside from cross-platform compatibility) that FreeBSD does not? Thanks for any help. Tom Lovell tlovell@foster-miller.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
