Description:	Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice features such as input completion and history and a powerful locals facility, and it even has (the beginnings of) a manual. Gforth employs traditional implementation techniques. Gforth is distributed under the GNU General Public license (see COPYING). Gforth runs under Unix and DOS and should not be hard to port to other systems supported by GCC. This version has been tested successfully on the following platforms: i486-unknown-linuxaout, i586-unknown-linux, alpha-dec-osf3.2, mips-dec-ultrix4.3, sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4, sparc-unknown-netbsd1.2 (configured with ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=0, see INSTALL), hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05, hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20, Windows 95 using DJGPP 2.0, and OS/2 3.0 using EMX 0.9c, the latter with manual help to finish compilation.
