Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Full On Programming SIG This Sat.

Content Type: text/plain

Hey, I'm just a grunt. That means i(sic) make lots of mistakes. As for this Sat. do we have
something to present/work on for the whole period?

I'm not sure why we need to be grounded in assembly language since most of the 10 or 20 basic Forth
words are already written in assembler or so I read. Everything else is built on these. We may
need to know how to assemble/compile source though. Even then if we build on what is already there
the built-in Forth compiler (used to extend the language) would suffice at least in the short run.
