****************** GET EXCITED !!! TCOM is HERE !!! ********************** TCOM is a Target COMpiler written by Tom Zimmer that is GREAT for creating small .COM applications in Forth. TCOM is Public Domain. INSTALL.COM will walk you through installation of TCOM onto your hard- -disk. You get to pick the drive and directory, but you need at least 1.5meg of disk space. The install program will by default make a directory called TCOM, with additional SRC and SAMPLES directories under it. More than 30 example source files are included, look through the SAMPLES directory after installation. Some of the example programs included are: SZ, a small text editor, CARD, a cardfile database, SHELL, a mini DOS shell, CLOCK, a bar graph/Roman numeral clock, DRAW, a simple VGA drawing program and others. Read the *.DOC files for a full description of how to use TCOM. TRY IT !! See how easy it is to make stand alone program written in FORTH!! TCOM even has Floating Point, plus Graphics support for Color and Hercules!! TCOM now also includes a source level debugger for debugging compiled TCOM programs called BUG.COM. Just type "BUG " and press F1 for help. TCOM also includes a file called TCOMUSER.PRN that is ready to print on any printer and will produce a reasonable indexed 100+ page users manual.
