- I am releasing the source for JAX4TH, my RESIDENT-able re-entrant proto-
- ANS Forth kernel for the Amiga. At one time I had some ideas about further
- development, but my work in putting ANS Forth onto Vesta Technology single
- board computer products has satisfied all my Forth libido for some time
- to come!
-
- Therefore I offer this source for public perusal while asserting copyright
- in order that others may use it as an early guideline for coding ANS Forth
- systems. I hope they grasp the strengths of JAX4TH while avoiding the
- weaknesses. JAX4TH has some huge flaws, which I have corrected in the
- commercial single board computer product Vesta Forth Standard Edition.
- I meant to correct them here also, but Ars Longa, Vita Brevis.
-
- The author apologizes for the naivete' which led him to spend spare
- hours for more than two years to construct this intriguing system, and
- then to pass it on to the world without really quite perfecting it. I
- trust that other Forth programmers are adequate to rise to the challenge.
- I would most enjoy being the "patron" of yet another release of JAX4TH
- tuned by other members of the fraternity/sorority of Forth. Please contact
- the author by email, or at the address below, if you have improved JAX4TH
- and wish to collaborate on another release.

- Long Live Forth!
