This achive contains the !FORTH directory.
!FORTH
!Run, !Boot, !Runimage, Templates, !Sprites
form a fully functional interpreter EXCEPT that you can not save the
executable image as a binary.
forthdemo
is a functioning interpreter without the WIMP front end it does NOT
support the file handling functions though and also does not support the
binary 'save' command.
The directory Forth contains:
demos.colours - type colours once loaded
demos.demo - type demo once loaded
demos.graphics - type test once loaded
These demos will run in any mode.
utility.copy - an example of file handling ( WIMP only )
utility.lock - deletes all dictionary entries except the last
this prevents an application written in ARMFORTH
distributing ARMFORTH with the application.
utility.mm - multi-tasking demo ( NON WIMP ONLY )
utility.vocab - display all ARMFORTH keywords.
Finally:
init - be extremely careful when changing this file
it contains the ARMFORTH definition for the
multitasking keyboard editor.
Patching the kernel is NOT recommended unless you
are sure you know what you are doing.
However by writting a better editor you have the
facility to hook into the interpreter kernel.
