No worries! Always appreciate your help. I'm still shaky on parts of 
forth, I went back to the compiler/interpreter chapters of "starting 
forth" after emailing you.

Hi Felix, I have a couple UF questions if you don't mind entertaining 
them.

First, one difference I notice between UF and other forths is there is 
no >number that takes an uncounted string, only a counted string. I am 
wondering what the best way to, e.g, parse a number from input is. EG 
imagine my input is:


foo 5
foo -1

and I want to define "foo" to take the number and do something with it. 
I have tried a few approaches:

Flounder has had a dark mode for a while, using the prefers-color-scheme 
css directive 
https://git.alexwennerberg.com/flounder/file/templates/static/style.css.html#l140

supporting this is a relatively new feature for a lot of browsers, so it may be 
simply that your browser recently added support!

Thanks! I fixed the link :)

Welcome to the new public inbox for any changes related to my projects

Looks like that fixed my issue, thanks!

include has been working great so far! I had a few questions about dmath.f

1. It looks like the link to 
http://excamera.com/files/j1demo/docforth/nuc.fs.html is broken 
2. I'm having trouble getting m*/ to get the result that I want. I want 
to multiply a double by a 16-bit number but I'm not getting the result I 
expect. The double is 991459 and the 16-bit number is 1980.

8419 15 1980 1 m*/ d.

yields me 1073714682, when I expect 1963088820. 1963088820 shouldn't 
overflow a signed 32 bit number, so I'm wondering why I'm having this 
issue?  I may be misunderstanding m*/

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!

Hi Felix -- I created a simple public thread just to share this q+a in 
case others had similar questions.

Have you thought about adding an 'include' function to uf.f? I have seen 
some forth functions add it and was wondering on your thoughts (like I 
said, I'm still relatively new to forth)

Thread for me to document discussion of the UF project!
