New Compiler
Hey Guys, I posted this in the new forums, however I wanted to put it up here, too. I've found a compiler we may be able to easily port to DEX, it's a pascal-like language that is written in Assembly Language. I am going to see if I can make heads or tails of the source, and if I manage, a high-level compiler will be available for those who want to program in them, making this OS a lot easier on beginners. http://www.idcomm.com/personal/lorenblaney/

I have had a look, looks very intersting :) , if it can be ported, it will be a big help for beginners, if that does not workout, maybe we could make a basic Interpreter, maybe by using fasm macro ? Any way good luck.

Iw as thinking along those lines, too, you'll notice, however, that this compiler/interpreter is written in Assembly, which should aid porting. I may need help from our heavyweight ASM programmers to get everything working, however. I'm going to try to document the calls, etc, and what they do, and the output they produce, while porting them over. It doesn't appear to be all that complex, I just need to get a feel for the structure. A lot of it apears to be written in itself, as though the base were ASM and the rest was implemented on top of the most basic building blocks.

I'm only going to update this thread in the new forum, link below: http://jas2o.forthworks.com/dexforum/index.php?topic=37.0
