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-32-x.y.z/forth-src + export KFORTH_DIR + +if you want to override the default location on +KFORTH_DIR=/usr/share/kForth-32 + +kForth-32 is designed to be installed on a 32-bit linux operating +system. +It will not install on 64-bit Slackware unless multilib support is +installed. |
