Documentation

The standard documenation is automatically generated and benefits from comments directly integrated in the PFE sources. See the unpacked documentation on this site, and fetch a copy of source and doc packages from the Download Area (including a Windows Help CHM File). The current documentation pipeline creates an intermediate DocBook XML file which is the best intermediate format for integration into third-party professional grade applications based on PFE Forth (as had been done at Tektronix MPT Berlin).

Since PFE implements the ANSI Forth Standard, you should read its documents as well, as in the Draft Proposal for ANS Forth that is publically available. There are also a lot of documents to be found at the WWW, the Forth Programming Webring at ZForth is a good starting point. By the courtesy of third-party Forth enthusiasts we can also provide you with a copy of the "4thtutor" and the ForthPrimer PDF by Hans Bezeemer.
