What is Pocket Forth?

Forth is a beautiful language. It is easily spoken and source code looks like poetry. Oh yes, Forth produces fast compact code. Pocket Forth is a small Forth system for the Macintosh computer, founded on well documented principals. Although Forth is now standardized into ANS Forth, Pocket Forth has evolved independently of the standard.

Pocket Forth is based on Flint by G. Yates Fletcher, figFORTH and the Forth described in Starting FORTH by Leo Brodie. I wrote Pocket Forth to experiment with the Macintosh toolbox and Apple Events. Pocket Forth can produce applications that run under any system version.

Programs are easily modified and you are encouraged to adapt Pocket Forth into your own program. Toward this end, you own your copies of Pocket Forth. Programs may be distributed with no royalties, homage, or other restrictions, even if the Forth system is available to the end user.
