- --- Linux/i386 port of eForth v1.0 - UnRelease e ---
- Linux Specificities:
- * now uses elf-i386 object file format.
- Old a.out still present but untested.
- * eForth boot message is disabled, use word ' hi to print it.
- * eForth reads from stdin, not manually echoing input
- (under Linux, by default, the terminal traditionally does the echoing).
- * CR actually outputs a linefeed character, not a CRLF sequence
- * words argc, argv, and environ are defined to have grant access to
- parameter data structures...
- * Unless you undefine __SYSCALL__ in the sources, words syscall0 - syscall5
- are defined which do Linux system calls. Could be used as a basis to a
- library to access system resources; linking with C could be done instead,
- but then, you should get gforth, so that's not the goal.
- * Just for fun, I added TOS (top of stack) buffering in %ebx, and replaced
- NEXT by an ENTER/NEXT pair (both can be disabled).
- * added some support for debugging (disabled as I only release working stuff :)
- * please do send me (fare@tunes.org) any improvement.
- The best docs is the source.
- Have fun hacking eForth !!!

- In a five year period we can get one superb programming language.
- Only we can't control when the five year period will begin. -- Alan Perlis
