PForth is an ANSI style Forth designed to be portable across many
|
|
platforms. The 'P' in pForth stands for "Portable". PForth is based
|
|
on a Forth kernel written in ANSI standard 'C'.
|
|
|
|
PForth has been designed with portability as the primary design goal.
|
|
As a result, pForth avoids any fancy Unix calls. pForth also avoids
|
|
using any clever and original ways of constructing the Forth
|
|
dictionary. It just compiles its kernel from ANSI compatible 'C' code
|
|
then loads ANS compatible Forth code to build the dictionary.
|
|
Very boring but very likely to work on almost any platform.
|
|
|
|
The pForth software code is distributed under MIT licence with parts
|
|
dedicated to the public domain.
