====== eForth  - a small Forth Implementation by C.-H. Ting ======

only about 4k – in many variants for different processors, 2 versions documented here.

===== Zen and the Forth Language: eForth for the MSP430 from Texas Instruments =====

For the TI MSP430 in a 20 Pin DIP.\\
Fits perfectly with the MicroBox Hardware.

===== eForth Overview =====

The other version documented here is the most open and compact version. And uses as much of it in Forth as
possible.
The complete file can be found at [[http://www.exemark.com/FORTH.htm]], as item 7.

And there is a [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/eForth-Overview-C-H-Ting-ebook/dp/B01LR47JME/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8|related eBook]] too.

It lead to the idea to see how short such a file would be – not in code, but physical print. And as project this file could be implemented in a Forth as exercise.
For this reason you find the \ in front of every line. Implement the relevant function in your prefered system. Tested in A2 and A1 size in the local print shop.

{{ :projects:430eforth:eforth_publisher_2018_09_16_v2.pdf |eForth Poster}} - very good eyes? IF A2 size is sufficient ( 43 x 48 cm) ELSE copy shop as A1 print out THEN. 

But you can still do {{:en:projects:430eforth:eforth_overview_one_page_code_extracted_v18a.odt|your own printout }} and if you want, stick them together with some tape.

More to come((October 2016)).

Manfred Mahlow gave a lecture on the eForth at the [[en:events:tagung-2017|2017 Forth conference]], in which the characteristics of the eForth have been exposed - the video of the lecture is in German, the slides of the lecture are available in German and English.
