"I converted J. E. Smiths's IBM-XT fig-FORTH fig86 source code so that it could be assembled using MASM and A86. A86 generates FORTH.COM "blitzschnell" - in just one pass. The documentation is plain text files." |

Fifth is a version of Forth with memory management, scoping, a large memory model, and a highly visual programmer interface. Fifth allows editing on two levels, the module level and the program level. Modules are easily modified without changing their position in the dictionary. The dictionary can be easily rearranged using the dictionary editor. |

Forth compiler written in Java. With Internet, XML, and database support, persisting system variables to a properties file. J2EE Forth runs as a Java application and web-app on EJB3 web servers.Written in Java, it has new features Forth does not have.
|
Nico Michael |
This is a truly open source project where even the source code is downloadable. The idea was to write it in Java so it could run on almost all modern operating systems. We have already published a Swing Client for those who don't like console applications. We are about to release a J2EE web application, bringing Forth to the webserver. Having written it Java, we have added Internet verbs, XML, and database support, and RSS feed. The idea is to deliver a Forth language that can compete with modern languages such as Java.
