Answering Peter Forth's message . I'm testing the posting at http://www.cosy.com/CoSy/#Disqus so it is available and archived .

I'm just thinking of making the ` eval loop do its io to a socket rather than the console . Then I can effectively use CoSy as the console talking to it thru localhost as I understand it .
Is there a fairly simple way to make ForthWin io to a socket ? That would give me a target for understanding sockets by seeing what's needed to get that Reva script working . And getting the 2 systems connected would make understanding , well , from my side , ForthWin , quicker .
I've restructured the open directory http://cosy.com/4thCoSy/ moving all the actual Reva.CoSy scripts to http://cosy.com/4thCoSy/Code/ .
That sockets script is pure Reva : http://cosy.com/4thCoSy/Code/lib/net/sockets
is that understandable and complete ? Is there the equivalent in ForthWin ?
Have you watched Sam Falvo's talk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u2_jKfo0A8&feature=youtu.be&t=2h48m30s ? I'm continually working to clean up and organize the essential scripts . That's one thing translating to another Forth will really encourage . The Reva implementation is an exercise in bushwhacking .
Let's see how this looks .
