PForth is an ANSI style Forth designed to be portable across many
|
||
|
|
platforms. The 'P' in pForth stands for "Portable". PForth is based
|
||
|
|
on a Forth kernel written in ANSI standard 'C'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PForth has been designed with portability as the primary design
|
||
|
|
goal. As a result, pForth avoids any fancy UNIX calls. pForth also
|
||
|
|
avoids using any clever and original ways of constructing the Forth
|
||
|
|
dictionary. It just compiles its kernel from ANSI compatible 'C' code
|
||
|
|
then loads ANS compatible Forth code to build the dictionary. Very
|
||
|
|
boring but very likely to work on almost any platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The pForth software code is dedicated to the public domain, and any
|
||
|
|
third party may reproduce, distribute and modify the pForth software
|
||
|
|
code or any derivative works thereof without any compensation or
|
||
|
|
license. The pForth software code is provided on an "as is" basis
|
||
|
|
without any warranty of any kind, including, without limitation, the
|
||
|
|
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
|
||
|
|
purpose and their equivalents under the laws of any jurisdiction.
