- I'm a pocket forth user. Pocket forth is great for learning the forth
- ropes, as it were, and is not bad for automatic handling of the event loop.
- Considering how stripped down it is, it is a remarkably full-featured forth
- implementation and is fairly true to the Brodie text "Starting Forth."
-
- If there are any other pocket forth users out there, you may find this
- little
- bug fix useful (basically, it allows you to use interpret correctly by
- resetting the input stream). See my posting on comp.lang.forth for more
- discussion on this.
