- Description:
-
- AForth is an ANS standard Forth for the Archimedes, based on the draft proposal
- standard called Basis 15. Its features include:
- * Direct threaded compiler, meaning fast execution - many times faster than
- BASIC.
- * Programmed in pure machine code highly optimized for speed of compilation
- and execution.
- * Compact module holding complete kernel.
- * RISC-OS interfaces: Tasks, SWIs, error handling, strings etc.
- * ANS Basis 15 compliance. AForth includes the Core, File Access, Search Order,
- Memory Allocation and Error handling wordsets. Includes parts of the Core
- Extension, Toolkit Extension and String word sets.
