VolksForth is a 16bit Forth System produced by the german Forth
|
||
|
|
Gesellschaft e.V. Main 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some modern Forth Systems were influenced by or were derived from
|
||
|
|
VolksForth (GNU-Forth, bigForth).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current Version of VolskForth is 3.81. Work on Version 3.90 has
|
||
|
|
been started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this time VolksForth is available for this Systems:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* VolksForth MS-DOS (Intel x86 Architecture i8086-ia64)
|
