- =====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.
