FICL 4.1.0 October 2010 ________ OVERVIEW Ficl is a complete programming language interpreter designed to be embedded into other systems (including firmware based ones) as a command, macro, and development prototype language. Ficl stands for "Forth Inspired Command Language". For more information, please see the "doc" directory. For release notes, please see "doc/releases.html". ____________ INSTALLATION Ficl builds out-of-the-box on the following platforms: * NetBSD, FreeBSD: use "Makefile". * Linux: use "Makefile.linux", but it should work with "Makefile" as well. * Win32: use "ficl.dsw" / "ficl.dsp". To port to other platforms, we suggest you start with the generic "Makefile" and the "unix.c" / "unix.h" platform-specific implementation files. (And please--feel free to submit your portability changes!) (Note: Ficl used to build under RiscOS, but we broke everything for the 4.0 release. Please fix it and send us the diffs!) ____________ FICL LICENSE Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 1.
