FORTH Applications: Ready to run programs in Forth (Bitfire Books)

FORTH is an extremely efficient programming language. Next to C it is getting more and more attention in the industrial- and military control enviroment. With FORTH the programmer has complete access to the whole computer, from bit-level to meta operations. The time (and with it the cost) to develop software can be reduced considerably using FORTH. The generated code ist extremly compact and changes can be made very easily. This book gives you the source code of complete application programs such as: Input/output, strings, data structures, artificial intelligence in FORTH, tools for program development programming of recurrence procedures such as the towers of Hanoi, a complete mailing list program in FORTH, a DBMS system and much more.
