VolksForth is a 16bit Forth System produced by the german Forth
|
|
|
|
|
Gesellschaft e.V. Major development of this system was done between
|
|
|
|
|
1985 until 1989. The VolksForth Project was revived in 2005 with the
|
|
|
|
|
goal to produce a managable Forthsystem for computer systems with
|
|
|
|
|
restricted system resources.
