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.
