gforth: gforth/README


1 : anton 1.7 Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth
2 : anton 1.8 language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice
3 : anton 1.9 features such as input completion and history and a powerful locals
4 :     facility, and it even has (the beginnings of) a manual. Gforth employs
5 :     traditional implementation techniques: its inner innerpreter is
6 :     indirect or direct threaded. Gforth is distributed under the GNU
7 :     General Public license (see COPYING).
8 : anton 1.8
9 :     Gforth runs under Unix and DOS and should not be hard to port to other
10 :     systems supported by GCC. This version has been tested on Linux (for
11 :     Intel), SunOS (SPARC), Ultrix (MIPS) before release.
12 : anton 1.1
13 : anton 1.7 Read INSTALL for installation instructions. Mail
14 :     gforth-bugs@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at if you have problems. To start
15 :     the system, just say `gforth' (after installing it).
16 : anton 1.1
17 : anton 1.7 If you want to work on Gforth, mail me. Tasks to be done can be found
18 :     in ToDo; but if you would like to do something not mentioned there,
19 :     it's ok, too. In any case, we would like to hear what you are
20 :     doing. The most important tasks IMO are the missing ANS Forth words,
21 :     the documentation and the foreign language interface for C.
22 : anton 1.4
23 :     On popular request, here are the meanings of unusual file extensions:
24 :    
25 :     *.fs Forth stream source file
26 :     *.fi Forth image files
27 :     *.fb Forth blocks file
28 :     *.i C include files
29 :     *.ds documenation source
30 :     *TAGS etags files
