[Amforth-devel] Constant array?

[<ha...@hu...>]

Hi,

(I am a beginner in Forth, so please excuse me if the question is stupid).

I need to create a lookup table in Flash which will be used to
translate decimal digits to 7 segment display digits.

In a RAM-based forth, I could write something like

table constant -2 allot
63 , 6 , 91 , 79 , 102 , 109 , 125 , 7 , 127 , 111 ,

This would (as far as I understand) a base pointer table that pointed
to the 63, with the other values following.

How would I do this with amforth?  As far as I can read from the
source code, allot acts on the heap (RAM) pointer.  Is there something
equivalent to allot that acts on the current dictionary pointer?  I
would be willing to waste one byte for each entry in the table and use
16 bits for each, but i=B4d like to easily access the base pointer of
the table.

Thanks!
Hans
