gforth: gforth/README

1 :	anton	1.7	Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth
2 :			language. This represents the present state of the Gforth project
3 :			whose goal is the development of a standard implementation model for
4 :			ANS Forth. Gforth supports indirect threading on every machine
5 :			supported by GCC, and direct threading on several popular
6 :			architectures. Gforth is distributed under the GNU General Public
7 :			license (see COPYING).

10 :			gforth-bugs@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at if you have problems. To start
11 :			the system, just say `gforth' (after installing it).

13 :	anton	1.7	If you want to work on Gforth, mail me. Tasks to be done can be found
14 :			in ToDo; but if you would like to do something not mentioned there,
15 :			it's ok, too. In any case, we would like to hear what you are
16 :			doing. The most important tasks IMO are the missing ANS Forth words,
17 :			the documentation and the foreign language interface for C.
