Short:        PForth Forth compiler
Author:       Phil Burk (Ported to AROS by Adam Bricker)
Uploader:     adam bricker ymail com (Adam Bricker)
Type:         dev/lang
Version:      v24.0
Requires:     AROS Kickstart 41.0, Workbench 40.0
Architecture: i386-aros

This is a port of PForth v24 to AROS.  It is the static stdio version that was compiled.  Actually, there was no need to modify any files other than the unix Makefile to get a clean compile.  I just had to tell the Makefile to compile the stdio version since AROS does not have the dependencies to compile the POSIX version.  It compiled cleanly with no warnings and ran all tests correctly except for one that the comment says is supposed to fail.  I ran a Forth program which I had ported to GForth in 2005 from a C++ program and after making a few changes it now runs perfectly.  No extensive testing has been done, but everything appears to be working.  More info is available on the PForth website:
