=====Forth
[Forth83]
Forth83 is a Forth interpreter.
[FIFTH]
Fifth 2.7 (Software Construction Company; $50) is a Forth-like programming
system made up of a compiler, a text editor, debugger, a dictionary editor,
and an interactive environment. Fifth uses incremental compilation that
limits compiles to sections of code which have been changed, as they are
changed, rather than requiring a recompilation of the entire program. The
compiles are also extremely fast. Fifth supports graphics, 32-bit
arithmetic, and the 8087 math coprocessor.
[FF]
FF (Zimmer, Tom; $0) is a Forth system whose origins can be traced back to
F83. FF has been tailored to use sequential files for source, and all
references to BLOCK have been removed.
[MVPForth]
MVPForth is a FORTH interpreter plus two other FORTH interpreters on the
same disk.
[PYGMY]
Pygmy Forth 1.4 (Sergeant, Frank; $?) is a Forth programming environment
based on Charles Moore's cmFORTH for the NOVIX Forth chip. It includes an
editor and assembler, yet only takes about 14k of disk space. It comes with
a manual on disk and complete source code, including a meta-compiler. Up to
15 files can be opened simultaneously, and in-string literals are allowed.
[UCCFORTH]
UCC Forth (United Controls Corporation; $?) is based on UCC's original
8-bit version of Forth. It is Direct Threaded; uses Sequential file
structures rather than 1024 byte screens; has substantial built-in
debugging and trace facilities; can shell through DOS 3.3 to utilize your
normal word processor/editor; and can CLOAD binary COM files produced by
MASM. EGA graphics are included.
[UNIFORT]
The Uniforth Sampler is a subset of the full Professional UNIFORTH. It
provides a full assembler, video editor and software floating-point
arithmetic. It supports the FORTH-83 Standard with few exceptions. You will
find the Sampler to be the equivalent of several commercial systems selling
for $200 or more, according to the author. The author is no longer at the
address given in the doc file.
[4TH_HLP]
4TH.Hlp
(Spurill, Giles; $0)
is a text file explaining what Forth language is, what the advantages of
programming with Forth are, and other useful information concerning the use
of Forth.
