Welcome to the comp.lang.forth.repository.
The purpose of this site is to document
existing Forth usage that for some reasons
cannot become a part of the ANSI/ISO Forth
Standard. The contents of this site need not
pass the standardization procedure with its
advantages and disadvantages. OTOH, there is
a requirement that the proposals may be
published here only after they are discussed
in the comp.lang.forth newsgroup.
This project does not release code. Instead,
it releases specifications of Forth words.
It also can contain other kinds of
specifications and Forth-related information.
In theory, this project can become a complement
or an alternative to the ANS Forth standard,
whatever the community needs, but only after
investment of an amount of labour comparable to
that spent on the ANSI standard. Anyway, if you
feel that the ANS/ISO Forth standard should be
improved, here's a way how and a place where
to reach this goal. (mlg)
This site is provided as a webspace to be used
on usenet' comp.lang.forth. It is based on the
obvervation, that every once in a while someone
creates a webpage with proposals, informations,
examples, forthtexts or just hypertext links -
and unlike other languages, forth has the
tendency to be implemented again and again. The
advantage of sourceforge is that everyone can get
a developer account here. Just make yourself
heard on the usenet' group if you want to get
write access here, and some of the current admins
will listen, so that quite probably you can add
pages shortly thereafter. We are always nice to
those who want to share our job here ;-) (guidod)
