gforth: gforth/README

1 :	pazsan	1.2	This is the current state (alpha) of gforth. This is not a
2 :	anton	1.1	distribution for the general public, since it is not yet mature
3 :			enough. There is no warranty of any kind; this program is
4 :			distributed under the GNU General Public license (see COPYING).

6 :	anton	1.6	Read INSTALL for installation instructions. Mail us
7 :			(anton@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at,paysan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de) if
8 :			you have problems.

10 :			To start the system just say `gforth'. This gives you a pretty barren
11 :			system. `gforth startup.fs' gives you most ANSI wordsets. If you miss
12 :			a word, just grep for it in *.fs.
13 :
14 :	anton	1.6	If you want to work on gforth, mail me. Tasks to be done can be found in
15 :			ToDo; but if you would like to do something not mentioned there, it's
16 :			ok, too. In any case, we would like to hear what you are doing. The
17 :			most important tasks IMO are the missing ANS Forth words (musts before
18 :			the alpha release), the documentation and the foreign language
19 :			interface for C.
20 :	anton	1.4
21 :			On popular request, here are the meanings of unusual file extensions:
22 :
23 :			*.fs Forth stream source file
24 :			*.fi Forth image files
25 :			*.fb Forth blocks file
26 :			*.i C include files
27 :			*.ds documenation source
28 :			*TAGS etags files
