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.
