Description: Portable Forth Environment, ANS standard, all wordsets.
PFE (Portable Forth Environment) is a programming environment for the
programming language Forth.
.
pfe is nonstandard in that it claims to conform to the draft proposed
American National Standard for the programming language Forth. In all
other respects it conforms to this new standard. All word sets
mentioned in the standard including their extensions are built into
pfe and are immediately available. The only missing words are those
related to the assembler. Being portable, pfe has no built-in
assembler.
.
Additionally pfe is compatible to the FORTH 83 Standard and has
several words built in that stem from the FIG Forth model. The goal is
to be familiar.
.
PFE is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU
Library General Public License (LGPL). It has been written by Dirk
Uwe Zoller in 1995, but is not maintained anymore.
