kForth is an implementation of the Forth programming language
|
||
and environment. The user may write Forth programs with an editor,
|
||
load these program files from kForth, and run them.
|
||
|
||
kForth provides a large subset of the Forth-2012 specification for
|
||
the Forth language. It also provides some extensions and non-standard
|
||
features which its authors have found to be useful.
|
||
Experienced Forth users should consult the Technical Information
|
||
section of the User’s Guide for specific information on the
|
||
differences between kForth and Forth-2012.
|
||
|
||
You may specify a specific directory in which kforth will search
|
||
for .4th files not found in the current directory. The environment
|
||
variable KFORTH_DIR must be set to this directory.
|
||
For example, add the following lines to your .bash_profile file:
|
||
|
||
KFORTH_DIR=~/kforth/kForth-64-x.y.z/forth-src
|
||
export KFORTH_DIR
|
||
|
||
if you want to override the default location on
|
||
KFORTH_DIR=/usr/share/kForth-64
