Portable Forth Environment
<language> (PFE) A highly portable Forth development system based on the
ANSI standard for Forth, by Dirk-Uwe Zoller of FHT, Mannheim, Germany. PFE aims
to be correct, complete, usable, and simple but it isn't optimised for speed. It
supports all dpANS word sets. It runs on Linux, RS/6000, and HP-UX.
Tektronix adopted PFE in 1998 and added modules and multithreading. You can load
additional C objects at run time to extend the Forth dictionary. It can be
targeted at different embedded environments by changing the terminal driver and
initilisation routines.
Current version: 0.30.27 preview, as of 2000-11-23.
