FORTH - Fourth. Charles H. Moore, 1960s. An interactive extensible
language using postfix syntax and a data stack. A program is a set of
functions ("words") which are compiled by an outer interpreter into
bytecodes. FORTH is small and efficient, but programs can be difficult to
read. Used first to guide the telescope at NRAO, Kitt Peak. Versions
include FORTH 79 and FORTH 83. FORTH Interest Group, Box 1105, San Carlos
CA 94070. ANSI standard soon to be adopted.
