For a while I have offered my cooperation for ****ting Holon to new
targets (see the topica mailing list). The assembler is only the first
step in the involved process. You need a monitor in the target, must
create the Forth kernel words, adapt the umbilical communication, tune
the debugger to the target uP, and more.
There have been several attempts but only one project actually made it
to the end (HolonR2k). It was considerably more work than anticipated
for both parties.
The process particularly showed that the old source of Holon needs a
lot of explanation, it contains the what and the how but not the why.
I don't think it is a good idea to distribute it.
Instead of commenting source of an old closed world, I will rather
give you all the information you want about Holonforth, based on the
new open source systems. Just ask, there exists a google.group
holonforth ready for discussions.
