All,

Imagine spending three days with people who don't judge you because you're
into computer history. It's a taste of Heaven.

I had a CoCo 3 running V-Term doing VT100 emulation at 2400 baud. I
connected it to a Linux computer.

Some people like that I showed them how to run GNU forth (gforth) to add one
plus two to get three as an answer.

Help:
gforth <<<"words" | grep sin
gforth <<<"words" | grep pi

Integer math:
1 2 + cr .

Floating point math:
1.1e0 2.2e0 f+ cr f.

Find the sin of 45 degrees:
45.0e0 pi f* 180.0e0 f/ fsin cr f.

Exit:
bye

"THE BREAK KEY" is looking to replace the BASIC ROM in the CoCo 1 with a
Forth ROM.
