-This snapshot has been tested quite well for portability.  The main
-thing missing before the release is an update to the documentation.

 Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth
 language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice
-features such as input completion and history and a powerful locals
-facility, and it even has a manual. Gforth employs traditional
-implementation techniques: its inner innerpreter is indirect or direct
-threaded.  Gforth is distributed under the GNU General Public license
-(see COPYING).

-Gforth runs under Unix, Win95, OS/2, and DOS and should not be hard to
-port to other systems supported by GCC. This version has been tested
