Forth-41

[dmh]

I've just given this a try and it basically works, however, the first example doesn't as per below :-(

1234 HEX . R/S
1234 OK

I used the ZIP file from the article and followed the exact same configuration in the manual (CV, same modules in same ports).

Edit: I also checked the default base with 'BASE @ . R/S' which confirmed DECIMAL is the default.

I can get it to work if I start with the HEX 4D2 and convert to DECIMAL and back to HEX again.

Edit: Looking at previous reports of the same issue, it appears FORTH defaults to HEX mode. It also never appears to report being in HEX mode. I note above it says it should always report 10 but the documentation says:

BASE BASE 0.0D5 10 / 0F Selected Base

Which I read as returning 10 for decimal and 0F for hex, is that not the case?

Other simple tests work as expected.

Has this been broken since the documentation was done or am I doing something wrong?

Also, can someone explain the page restrictions for this? Where can FORTH go or does it have to go in the listed pages?

I initially tried with a NoV-64d with HEPAX but no luck so I had to use Clonix mode. Can FORTH be used with HEPAX?

TIA, dmh
