Welcome to the Scientific_FORTH wiki!

History

Julian V. Noble wrote Scientific FORTH in 1992. Scientific FORTH became a classic FORTH programming guide. Unfortunately, Julian V. Noble died in 2007. Currently, Scientific FORTH is no longer in print. In 2014, Harriet Noble, Julian's widow, gave permission to create a free non-commercial version of Scientific FORTH for the internet. This repository hopes to serve as the basis of this project.
