-This is the file README and belongs to version 0.9.4a of May 8, 1994
-of the portable Forth-environment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-What is it?
-===========
-
This package contains all neccessary ANSI-C source files to build a
running Forth-environment on most UNIX machines, on DOS and on OS/2.
@@ -12,211 +5,3 @@ The Forth-system is closely modeled along the new American National
Standard for the programming language Forth. I implemented every word
of every word set mentioned in the dpANS-6 document of june 1993.
Additionally it is compatible to Forth-83.
-
-This set of source files is distributed under the GNU general public
-license for libraries. See the file COPYING.LIB for conditions.
-
-I chose that one to point out that I don't consider programs you write
-on top of it a 'derived work' of the portable Forth environment. To
-violate these conditions you have to do two things together:
-
- - you use a modified pfe to run your program
- - you keep these modification secret
-
-Should be easy to avoid.
-
-
-Why did I do it?
-================
-
-For fun. As an excercise in unix programming. And there was no such
-thing. See below, design objectives.
-
-
-Design objectives
-=================
-
-With two elaborate standards at hand, one for C, one for Forth, it
-should be possible to build one language in terms of the other and
-thus provide both where at least one is available.
-
-While I leave the writing of an ANSI-C compiler in Forth to those who
-really believe in Forth's superiority and universality, I concentrated
-on the manageable part: Providing a Forth-system in ANSI-C that is
-
- - CORRECT this means not just "no bugs" -- it means all
- the interaction of all parts works as specified
- by the standard AND by traditions.
-
- - COMPLETE with powerful computers on the desk and power-
- ful programming environments there is no need
- to and no use in strategies like "here kernel,
- there xyz word set" that might be appropriate
- on a microcontroller.
-
- - PORTABLE I hate to rewrite code because of environmental
- dependencies. Most of the system should be a mere
- interface between two well defined languages.
- There are of course such dependencies. I tried
- to resort to a common subset of all UNIX bahavior
- known to me. Fortunately this in fact allowed
- porting to DOS and OS/2 thanks to the great
- emx-package.
-
- - USABLE A sole kernel helps noone. It should be a
- development environment. You should be able
- to manage multiple-source-file-projects from
- within.
-
- - SIMPLE or transparent. At least to my taste.
-
-Maybe you miss the design objective SPEED. It was not my goal to
-provide the fastest C-based Forth-environment. This would have led to
-conflicts with much more important goals. We all have fast computers,
-haven't we?
-
-After all pfe isn't slow. With a little tuning using GNU-C's global
-register variable feature it is pretty fast. But obviously it cannot
-compete with assembler implementations.
-
-
-Status
-======
-
-Did I achieve the above objectives?
-Some of them. I'll continue working on it.
-
-The system is in use for fifteen month now. Several quite obvious and
-several quite subtle bugs have been fixed. While there surely are some
-more, they are not as obvious since the system passes several test
-programs, some of them rather sophisticated.
-
-Once you get the system running, you'll have
-
- - All ANSI Forth word sets with the exception of the assembler
- hooks `CODE', `END-CODE' etc. Nothing else is missing.
-
- - Several more words provided for compatibility and convenience.
-
- - An interface to a text editor to edit plain text sources
- and the ability to include them.
-
- - A word star lookalike block file editor to write
- source in the old style block format.
-
- - A simple source level debugger -- maybe I should better
- say "single stepper".
-
-Thus you'll be able to edit, compile an run programs in a moderately
-comfortable way. For the final design of the development environment
-your suggestions still are welcome!
-
-If you try this system, please keep in mind that it is still under
-development. Sometimes new --even stupid-- bugs are introduced while
-enhancing functionality or while fixing old ones. I appreciate every
-hint to a bug and I fixed every bug I've been told about in the last
-months. So please don't hesitate to tell me about whatever seems
-wrong. Please check for the latest version via anonymous ftp from
-
- roxi.rz.fht-mannheim.de:/pub/languages/forth/pfe-?.?.?.tar.gz
-
-(accessible from germany only) or
-
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/languages/forth/pfe-?.?.?.tar.gz
-
-Please send suggestions and bug reports via e-mail to
-
- duz@roxi.rz.fht-mannheim.de
-
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-For installation refer to the files `install' and `tuning'.
-
-Once you have it running and see the "ok" prompt after typing return
-you can interactively type in forth words. If you mistype, you can
-edit the command line and recall old command lines with the arrow
-keys. (If you can't then your termcap doesn't work all right and you
-can resort to wordstar-like control keys.)
-
-To write some more statements try "EDIT-TEXT filename". This will
-invoke your favorite text-file editor on the given file. If it
-doesn't, first check the environment variable EDITOR, then check the
-file "const.h" for the #defined symbol "EDITOR".
-
-Having written some code you can load it by "INCLUDE filename".
-
-If you prefer the old style block files, give a file to use as
-block-file with the -b commandline option. Alternatively you can say
-`USING filename' or if the file doesn't exist yet: `USING-NEW
-filename'. Then you can edit a block by `n EDIT-BLOCK'.
-
-If your termcap-mechanism works well, the arrow keys and some other
-function keys should be active. Quit the editor with ^U and load
-blocks with "n LOAD". If it doesn't work well you might not even get a
-picture.
-
-For more commandline options try the option -h.
-
-The interrupt key is remapped to ^U and leads back to the FORTH input
-loop. Use it to break out of infinite loops.
-To terminate the system, type BYE at the command-prompt or press the
-keyboard quit key of your system (usually ^\).
-
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-I started writing a documentation in texinfo format. This will allow
-you to view it online or print it in good quality. There's also an
-outdated and hopefully soon superseded man-page that explains some of
-the command line options. All documentation is highly unfinished.
-
-For more information please try to get the dpANS-document, which is
-an EXCELLENT REFERENCE to this system! You can (could?) ftp it at
-ftp.uu.net in the directory /vendor/minerva/x3j14.
-
-
-Contributions
-=============
-
-are welcome! After the kernel is finished now it makes much sense to
-share the burden of creating and improving a well rounded programming
-environment for all tasks a Forth programmer wants to do. PFE is YOUR
-tool. Get involved in it's design!
-
-There is a mailing list on pfe which you should subscribe to if you
-want to be up to date with the development of the system. Send e-mail
-to duz@roxi.rz.fht-mannheim.de if you want to subscribe to that
-mailing list.

- contribute to Linux and Eberhard Mattes.
-
-Several nice people gave me valuable hints to bugs and possible
-improvements, were patient enough to try the very first releases, made
-ports to machines I never saw myself and kept me from frustration. If
-pfe is stable now it is thanks to it's users. Most notably:
