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 (the beginnings of) 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 and DOS and should not be hard to port to other
systems supported by GCC. This version has been tested successfully on
the following platforms: i486-unknown-linuxaout, i586-unknown-linux,
alpha-dec-osf3.2, mips-dec-ultrix4.3, sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4,
sparc-unknown-netbsd1.2 (configured with ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=0, see
INSTALL), hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05, hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20, Windows 95 using
DJGPP 2.0, and OS/2 3.0 using EMX 0.9c, the latter with manual help
to finish compilation.
