"Starting Forth, the Forth language tutorial, is shared freely here in its official online edition. Updates to the original text include code examples that run on iForth and SwiftForth systems. Aficionados (and detractors) of the original book’s illustrations will find most of them restored in this edition by FORTH, Inc.
"Notes about this online edition
"Changes made by FORTH, Inc. to Marcel’s version were primarily related to internet coding standards and visual presentation. We also restored the book’s original illustrations here, in most cases. The following notes are also relevant and important to those familiar with the original edition.
"Notes by Marcel Hendrix
"This transcript is not an exact reproduction. Forth code has been ANSified. All code should run on at least SwiftForth and iForth. Where necessary, statements that were valid in 1981 have been exchanged with statements more appropriate for 2003 (when this tribute was written)."
