< 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.
