The ZIP file for FIG on the Source Code page has two versions. The readme file says the following:

Quote:
FIG6502.ASM is the original FIG listing, for a Rockwell native assembler.
FIG6502.ASX is my modified listing, which will assemble
with MAS65 macro cross assembler, available from
http://www2.whidbey.net/~beattidp/

04 JAN 2000


FIG6502.ASM starts with the following:

Do I need to include the notice or not?

I have built my own forth from the asx file, and was wondering what if any credit needs to be mentioned considering that the only thing that still looks the same is this introductory message. Everything else has been fundamentally re-written.

As FIG no longer exists, FIG Forth is now public domain.

They exist and have a web site, but seem to be almost in a permanent hybernation. Regardless, is there any problem with adding the notice?

Make sure you make the multiplication and division corrections though.

FIG itself no longer exists. Only the German and Silicon Valley FIG sub-chapters remain. In fact, SVFIG is now the inheritor of the forth.org website and material.

For more information, please feel free to contact Kevin Appert on this matter at http://www.forth.org/svfig/

Just to note that the MAS65 macro cross assembler can now be found at
http://www.hytherion.com/beattidp/comput/x65tools/

It seems to run OK in dosbox on linux.
