|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
