Information technology - Programming languages - FORTH
This standard specifies an interface between a Forth System and a Forth Program by defining the words provided by a Standard System. This Standard specifies the forms that a program written in the Forth language may take; the rules for interpreting the meaning of a program and its data. This Standard does not specify the mechanism by which programs are transformed for use on computing systems; the operations required for setup and control of the use of programs on computing systems; the method of transcription of programs or their input or output data to or from a storage medium; the program and Forth system behavior when the rules of this Standard fail to establish an interpretation; the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific computing system or the capability of a particular Forth system; the physical properties of input/output records, files, and units; the physical properties and implementation of storage.
