@ -22,7 +22,33 @@ The latest release zip file `volksforth-6502-c64-release.zip` contains
* `v4th*.fth` - the binaries' main files
* `vf-*.fth` - sources from which VolksForth
kernels are compiled
* further Forth sources
* `6502asm.fth` - the 6502 assembler, needed to compile Code words
* `trns6502asm.fth` - the transient 6502 assembler. It lives on the
heap and is removed by `clear`. This allows building applications that
have code words but don't carry the assembler itself after saving.
* `tmp6502asm.fth` - like the transient 6502 assembler, but living on the
tmpheap instead of the heap. See below for tmpheap.
* `rom-ram-sys.fth`
* `tracer.fth` - the debugger
* `tasker.fth` - the multitasker
* `multitask.fth` - the small bit of assembly code needed by tasker.fth
* `taskdemo.fth` - a C64/C16 demo of the tasker
* `x16input-tsk.fth`- The usual v4th X16 keyboard input uses the regular
screen editor for line input, so no task switches happen during line input.
This input implementation allows task switches during input but uses Kernal
variables and has a cursor bug after backspace.
* `cbmopen.fth` - Forth words for Kernal channel I/O
* `lists.fth` - two list utility words
* `profiler.fth` - *** [4d2023-04](https://forth-ev.de/wiki/res/lib/exe/fetch.php/vd-archiv:4d2023-04.pdf) (English)
* `tmpheap.fth` - the reference implementation of the tmpheap design
as described at
[SVFIG 04-2021](https://www.forth.org/svfig/kk/04-2021.html), in the
[4d2021-03](https://forth-ev.de/wiki/res/lib/exe/fetch.php/vd-archiv:4d2021-03.pdf) (German) and used
in [cc64](https://github.com/pzembrod/cc64/blob/master/src/cc64/cc64.fth#L11)
* `x16tmpheap.fth` - a X16 tmpheap implementation that uses banked ram
* `notmpheap.fth` - a null implementation that redirects the tmpheap
to the regular VolksForth heap
* `tc-base.fth` - loadfile for the resident part of the target compiler
* `src_petscii/` - the files from `src/` converted to PETSCII
