John J. Cassady's FORTH-75C for
the HP-75C (vintage 1983)
The zip file (25 Kb) contains all the
programs recovered from the micro-cassette along with an explanation. Three
programs were in fact not readable but can be re-created with the kernel and
appropriate extensions which are all intact. I used HP's LIFUTIL to get the
files onto a DOS machine for transfering. These files will need to be converted
back using LIFUTIL for use on the HP-75C.
