About Quartus Forth

Quartus Forth is an on-board ISO/ANSI Standard Forth optimizing native-code compiler for the Pilot™, PalmPilot™, Palm III™, and IBM WorkPad™ connected organizers.

"Quartus Forth"

The name "Quartus Forth" is a play on words. When Charles Moore originally created Forth, he felt it represented an evolutionary step beyond what were then called third generation languages (such as FORTRAN), and hence he wanted to name it 'Fourth'. Because of the 5-character limit on the length of filenames in the computer system he was using, he shortened the name to 'Forth' instead.

"Quartus" is the Latin word for "fourth".
