1.7       anton       1: Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth
1.8     ! anton       2: language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice
        !             3: features such as a powerful locals facility, and even has (the
        !             4: beginnings of) a manual. Gforth employs traditional implementation
        !             5: techniques: its inner innerpreter is indirect or direct threaded.

        !             7: COPYING).

        !             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

1.7       anton      17: 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
