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.

SEE ALSO

       There  are some other pForth docs in /usr/doc/pforth, and a web page at
       http://www.softsynth.com/pforth/.

       Information on Forth in general is available from  the  Forth  Interest
       Group web site at http://www.forth.org/.
