Portable ANS-like Forth written in ANSI 'C'
PForth is a public domain, portable Forth interpreter.
.
PForth is written in 'C' and can be easily ported to new 32 and 64-bit
platforms. It only needs character input and output functions to operate
and, therefore, does not require an operating system. This makes it handy
for bringing up and testing embedded systems.
.
PForth also works on desktops including Windows, Mac and Linux and supports
command line history. This lets you develop hardware tests on a desktop
before trying them on your embedded system. But pForth is not a rich and
friendly desktop programming environment. There are no GUI tools for
developing desktop applications. PForth is lean and mean and optimized for
portability.
.
PForth has a tool for compiling code on a desktop, then exporting the
dictionary in big or little endian format as 'C' source code. This lets you
compile tests for an embedded system that does not have file I/O.
.
PForth is based on ANSI-Forth but is not 100% compatible.
.
