NAME

       pForth - an ANS Forth interpreter written in ANSI 'C'

SYNOPSIS

       pforth [options] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       pForth is an interpreter for the  ANS  Forth  language.   It  implements  the  Core,  Core
       Extensions, File-Access, Floating-Point, Locals, Programming-Tools, and Strings word sets.

       Any files specified on the command line will be processed as if typed.  This is useful for
       scripting.

OPTIONS

       -d<filename.dic>
              Specify an alternate dictionary.  By default, pforth.dic will be searched for first
              in the current directory, and then in /usr/lib/pforth.

       -i     Initialization mode, used for creating an initial dictionary.

       -q     Quiet mode.
