Subject: Re: [colorforth] "Play and Display"Nick here: Tutorial: Play and Display The words "pause" and "blk" can be used to display a music score while playing it, block by block. Blk holds the block number, and Pause refreshes the display. For example, the word "Handel" is on block 68 of Howerd Oakford's CFDOS4 (see my tutorial on Monday, 10 Mar 2008 Re: [colorforth] Hello - and where to begin?). One can redefine the word Handel so that it displays block 68 before playing Handel's gavotte. : Handel 68 blk ! pause Handel ; One can then define a word to display the next block as well : pd ( Play & Display) blk @ 2 + blk ! pause ; This will cause Handel to chain block 70 after it has played block 68 : Handel 68 blk ! pause Handel pd ; That way, one can chain a Play & Display music score, block after block. If you want to skip n blocks : ppd ( n>>) blk @ + pause ; and redefine pp : pp 2 ppd ; I have used this method to Play & Display 114 bars of Beethoven's string quartet Rasoumovsky 1, each bar being sourced on a separate block. As far as I can judge by ear, the multitasker word "Pause" does not introduce a perceptible pause between the bars. Thus, CF's display refresh seems to have a low enough latency for the purpose of bar by bar P&D. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: colorforth-unsubscribe@...

colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows usecolorforth list readers:
the long awaited colorforth 2 has been released ftp://ftp.ultratechnology.com/ColorForth2.0a.zip It defaults to qwerty mode on boot although changing the word qwerty from yellow color to white color on block 18 and doing a save and warm or restarting will return to the familiar quasi-Dvorak keyboard. The editor still uses the old command key layout although new command keys have been added. This is the version that Doug has talked about SVFIG. It comes with documentation and a Windows wrapper.

Re: colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows useRay here.
Neat! Just when I had an ego fit and quit, y'all try to drag me back in with this excellent implementation of colorForth. ( i'm still blaming my poor attitude on fun medication. ) Few things yer gonna wanna do when you get your implementation unzipped: 1) after zipping go ahead and create a file called " OkadBack.cf" This is required for the tutorial to work. 2) In the tutorial go ahead and take your time and properly resize all of those pics so that the windows DOC program will display smoothly during scroll. Otherwise you may miss words that flip by between pics that go by so fast that you don't even know they are there. One thing that seems to work for me is to be sure that a line of text above and below the pic is fit in the window properly. This helped navigating the page. YMMV. 3) Make sure that all of the keyboard options are present in all of the documentation. There are places where the letters for the left hand are not all represented in the docs, mostly in the case of the left hand home row ' c' and also the 'k' below the home row. 4) Use rawwritewin to create a floppy using the OkadWork.cf file. SO AWESOME TO BE CONGRUENT. Sometimes I wished I still colorForthed. ;-) Neat to see your work work across platforms. speaking of which: Reporting that the thing is working just fine in a 2004 Windows xp home addition on a P4 from compaq with no changes at all. WELL DONE! 5) little trick I learned about saveing work in the original colorForth for Windows by Roman and Glypher by Roger Levy: Before starting a colorforth project go ahead and do an "EDIT--COPY" or "CTRL-C" followed by a CTRL-V(paste) of any file you'd like to keep an original and copies of. Doing this consistanly to the current OkadWork.cf file for instance would: First time: creates "Copy of OkadWork.cf" Second time: creates "Copy (2) of OkadWork.cf" Third time: creates "Copy (3) of OkadWork.cf" The working file is always OkadWork.cf, but should you corrupt it, you can all ways go back to the last COPY-PASTE version with the highest ( NUM in parens) and not lose much ground. This has saved my but more then once. Typically, I'd sync this file with a removable thumbDrive and that serves as my ultimate backup. As to my attitude, I'm looking for competent help. :-) Much pleasure to you colorCoders and a hearty THANKS LOADS ! to Jeff, Chuck, and those behind the scene at Intellasys. THIS IS NEAT with a capital this is neat!

Re: colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows useRay here: Is anyone having trouble with the word "homef" ?
It does not work as described for me. I get an abort when executed. Also, save writes to the floppy fine without homef but I actually have to hit a key to get the save to work with speed. It's very slow otherwise. Normally, I would just crack open the sources and begin searching for problem candidates. Unfortunately, I have no sources for this version and can not be of assistance. Are sources available for this release or is this protected, maybe? Having a blast with this so far. Really, well done Intellasys! Thanks again.

Re: colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows useNick here,
I find an incorrect screen mode when booting the native version also, on ASUS P4. Tried correcting this by my usual poke of 10cd4117(ie 16bit) instead of 10cd4118 (24bit) into cell 63. Text became clearer but the keyboard did not respond. Tried brute force replace yellow "env" by yellow 34 (native environment load) in block 18. No diff.

Re: colorforth 2.0a for stand-alone and Windows useNick here,
I cannot get the CF2 image OkadWork.cf to boot from floppy as a stand alone system like CF01, CF05 and CFDOS4.blk. The previous images needed only a fix to the display, as suggested by Jeff (below); but here the keyboard also was unresponsive. Perhaps it is because this image OkadWork.cf is a Windows version ("winver" returns 1). Can one convert it to native via the blocks (like the "environment" block 34, which I've already tried); or does one need a "native" kernel as well as "env" block 34?
