Some modern Forth Systems were influenced by or were derived from
VolksForth (GNU-Forth, bigForth).
The current Version of VolksForth is 3.81. Version 3.9.x will be
interim versions on the way to sync all VolksForth targets and move
towards compliance with the 2012 Forth standard.
On most platforms the current version of VolksForth is 3.8x.
Versions 3.9.x are interim versions towards compliance with the
2012 Forth standard, and at the same time towards a unification
(as far as feasible) of the sources of the different platforms.
Also included in 3.9.x versions is the transition from block files
to stream files as primary source format.
So far the 6502/C64 VolksForth (C64/Plus4/X16) is on a 3.9.x version.
Version 3.8.x is based on the Forth 83 standard, Version 4.00 will be
based on the current 2012 Standard (https://forth-standard.org).
