!ARMForth32

The !ARMForth32 source code is written in Basic V ("BBC Basic"). Most of it is composed of assembler code, using the Basic Assembler . The assembler takes about 1 minute on the PI to create the Forth !RunImage file.

The standard functions are as follows:

• Standard Forth Word Set (mainly Forth79 + Forth83 standards)
• Macro Assembler
• MultiTasker
• Extensible Data Types
• Access to ARM SWIs and BASIC functions
• String Functions
• Runs either in window as a task or in full-screen mode     

The next page discusses the extensions which I have added to the Standard Word Set
