Ok, that makes sense. When I wrote -z"- I meant z", I was using the dashes as delimiters. I understand the code now. When I tried to reverse engineer it I...
... The error messages for struct.f all indicate that an older version (i.e. the one supplied with V6.10.xx) so I think that V6.10.xx needs to be uninstalled...
I am primarily a hardware engineer but have some recent experience with Forth as SwiftX for the MSP430. Although I have, over the years, written quite a bit...
... I did uninstall V6.10. I uninstalled everything Forth I could find, downloaded Win32Forth again and then reinstalled it. One odd thing I noticed is that...
