Welcome to the Next Forth wiki!
- Download the latest .zip file from Project Download directory https://github.com/mattsteeldue/vforth-next/tree/master/download
- Copy from .zip file to Next's SD card the whole "vForth" directory to C:/tools/vForth, and the dot command in C:/dot
- Forth System is loaded and activated by the Basic program C:/tools/vForth/forth17_loader.bas or via dot command .vforth
- Previous version should be activated using the corresponding loader.
The first start performs the definition AUTOEXEC
which executes 11 LOAD
To quit to Basic, you can give BYE
To re-enter Forth with a WARM
start, you have to give interactively RUN.
To re-enter Forth with a COLD
start, you have to give interactively RUN 20 instead.
Dot command version hasn't a WARM
start, but accept a BLOCK
file-name as parameter.
To learn Forth Language or for a good reference I suggest the book "Starting FORTH" - Leo Brodie (1981, Forth Inc.). PDF hopefully available here https://www.forth.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Starting-FORTH.pdf : The first edition is old enough to stick on 16 bit integers numbers. In this perspective, almost all Forth source and examples described in Leo's book are available from Screen 800 upward.
