The c.l.f. archives from 1998 and 1999 are fun to read,
especially the faux acerbic remarks of John Passiniti.
Jerry Avins is right. In REXX I coded
http://mind.sourceforge.net/mindrexx.html
and was persuaded to switch to Forth.

is perhaps what A.v.d.Horst is referring to. it seems
to be a 64-bit Forth for DEC Alpha.

Two days ago at a Radio Shack in Seattle I bought
an Acer Aspire one 32-bit WiFi netbook to provide
Net access from cafes and public libraries.
Yesterday I used the netbook to purchase
iforth4_oct8_2009.zip on-line.
Today I am in a Starbucks cafe getting ready to
download the 32/64-bit iForth into the netbook.
The instructions from Marcel Hendrix say to
"Expand the zip archive to a USB stick
(or burn to a CD) before using the supplied
installation scripts." Luckily with the
netbook I bought an 8-GB SanDisk Flash Drive.
I may have to buy WinZip all over again.
Once I get 32/64-bit iForth working on this
Netbook, I should be able to code
http;//www.scn.org/~mentifex/mindforth.txt
still in Win32Forth, and the I4thMind AI
on the 32-bit Netbook for tweaking upwards
to 64-bit iForth on Linux platforms.
Once serious True AI MindForth gets loose in the
Linux environment full of hardcore otaku Nerds
who code for the sheer existential thrill of it,
watch out, world, for a Technological Singularity.

I must admit that my native skepticism governs here, but I certainly
wish you success.

aiforth follows the ciforth model, but it is just for the DEC Alpha.
A better reference for ciforth in general is
http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst/ciforth.html
mina,lina,lina64,wina,xina,bina and the Renesas, 6809, and Alpha
ciforths are all based on the ciforth model.
The design criterion is that a computer intelligence must be able
to understand her own code. This must result in i.a. the ability to
derive the stack effects of all code words.
There has been some progress in adding the stack effects automatically
to all words. A computer intelligence is not quite there though ;-)
The related ciasdis (computer intelligence assembler disassembler) had
some success in reverse engineering colorforth.
This model can be taken seriously for maybe a 64 bit Ghz processor
with Gbyte RAM and Tbyte disk. It is used for a 6809 merely because
I have a toolkit to crank out a ciforth easily, complete with
documentation.

I would never admit to having no Internet access from home,
out of fear that people would not take me seriously.

I code because I get paid to do so. If it weren't this way, I would
probably code as a hobby. Do you have a similar damning statement
about people with other professions or other hobbies, say, gardening,
or is this reserved for those whose existence threatens you,
presumably, because your ability to make money is at chance.
BTW, slavery is illegal almost everywhere and should you ever manage
to create an intelligent being, enslaving it would still be illegal.
