The 'P' in pForth stands for "Portable". PForth is based +on a Forth kernel written in ANSI standard 'C'. + +PForth has been designed with portability as the primary design +goal. As a result, pForth avoids any fancy UNIX calls. pForth also +avoids using any clever and original ways of constructing the Forth +dictionary. It just compiles its kernel from ANSI compatible 'C' code +then loads ANS compatible Forth code to build the dictionary. Very +boring but very likely to work on almost any platform. + +The pForth software code is dedicated to the public domain, and any +third party may reproduce, distribute and modify the pForth software +code or any derivative works thereof without any compensation or +license. The pForth software code is provided on an "as is" basis +without any warranty of any kind, including, without limitation, the +implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular +purpose and their equivalents under the laws of any jurisdiction. |
