Title: Should be named "Check out my Z80 Forth"
Product review: I picked up a used copy of this book half a year ago, while I was writing a Forth as a hobby project. The use of pluralis in the title led me to believe that it would describe different approaches on writing Forth kernels. How wrong I was.First, there is some generic explanation of how a Forth works. The writing is incredibly tedious and mundane compared to other Forth literature (e.g. Leo Brodie, Brad Rodriguez). Also the typesetting is on the verge of horrible -- how anyone could choose a filled black square to represent white-space is beyond me.The greater part of the book contains a listing of a generic Z80 Forth. Every single assembly line is commented in ALL CAPS. If you feel this would be useful to have in print form, maybe you want this book. Otherwise, I don't think so.
