volksFORTH83 is a language which is unusual in several respects. For FORTH itself is not only a language but a programming system, which is in principle, boundless. One of the main features of the FORTH programming system is its modularity. This modularity is ensured by the smallest unit of a FORTH system, the WORD.

In these terms a FORTH procedure, routine, program, definition and command are synonymous with all the needed words. FORTH is therefore, like any other natural language also made up of words.

These FORTH-words can be seen as already compiled modules, it being always extended a core of several hundred words through their own words. These core are in a FORTH83 standard set and ensure that standard programs can be run without changes on the respective FORTH system. It is unusual that the program text of the core is a FORTH program itself, in contrast to other programming languages, where it is machine language based. This core is produced by a special FORTH program, the meta-compiler, the executable Forth system.

The compiler in a FORTH system is thus part of the interpreter interface. There is therefore no compilation process to create the code, as in other compiled languages, but the interpreter is secured with new words as necessary to solve the problems the user programs.

The spread, which has found the language FORTH was significantly linked to the existence of figFORTH. Also figFORTH is an open-source program (previously this was called public domain, but today the term is open-source more accurate), ie it must be inclusive of the source text passed and copied. Nevertheless wereunfortunately various providers to easily adapt the figFORTH on different computers can pay very expensive.
Die Verbreitung, die die Sprache FORTH gefunden hat, war wesentlich an die Existenz von figFORTH geknüpft. Auch figFORTH ist ein open-source Programm (früher wurde dies Public Domain genannt, aber heute ist der Ausdruck Open-Source genauer), d.h. es darf inklusive des Quelltextes weitergegeben und kopiert werden. Trotzdem haben sich bedauerlicherweise verschiedene Anbieter die einfache Adaption des figFORTH an verschiedene Rechner sehr teuer bezahlen lassen.

Established in 1979, published figFORTH is no longer the case currently, as caused by the further spread of Forth an abundance of elegant approaches, some of Forth83 in the standard and the ANSI Forth Standard have been included. It was then of Laxen and Perry wrote the F83 and disseminated as a public Domaln. This free-FORTH '83 standard for MS-DOS, with its numerous utilities quite complex and is not available with manual.
Das im Jahr 1979 erschienene figFORTH Ist heute nicht mehr so aktuell, weil mit der weiteren Verbreitung von Forth eine Fülle von eleganten Konzepten entstanden sind, die z.T. in den Forth83-Standard und den Forth ANSI-Standard Eingang gefunden haben. Daraufhin wurde von Laxen und Perry das F83 geschrieben und als Public Domaln verbreitet. Dieses freie 83er-Standard-FORTH für MS-DOS mit seinen zahlreichen Utilities ist recht komplex und wird auch nicht mit Handbuch geliefert.

We have developed a new Forth for different computers. The result is the volksFORTH83, one of the best Forth systems, there is. The state-FORTH is to build in the tradition of the above systems, in particular the F83, and promote the spread of the language FORTH.

state-FORTH FORTH was ultra under the name initially written for the C64. After publication of the Atari ST computer series, we decided to develop it for a volksFORTH83. The first shipped version 3.7 was that concerned editor and mass storage, still heavily based on the C64. It contained, however, have an improved tracer, the GEM library and other tools for the ST. The next step consisted in the integration of the operating system files. Source texts could now be processed from the desktop and other utilities. The third adaptation of the state-FORTH was designed for the CP / M machine (8080 processors), which is specifically for Schneider CPC also supports the graphics capability. Then the state-FORTH for widespread computer of the IBM PC series was adapted.
volksFORTH wurde unter dem Namen ultraFORTH zunächst für den C64 geschrieben. Nach Erscheinen der Rechner der Atari ST-Serie entschlossen wir uns, auch für sie ein volksFORTH83 zu entwickeln. Die erste ausgelieferte Version 3.7 war, was Editor und Massenspeicher betraf, noch stark an den C64 angelehnt. Sie enthielt jedoch schon einen verbesserten Tracer, die GEM-Bibliothek und die anderen Tools für den ST. Der nächste Schritt bestand In der Einbindung der Betriebssystem-Dateien. Nun konnten Quellentexte auch vom Desktop und mit anderen Utilities verarbeitet werden. Die dritte Adaption des volksFORTH entstand für die CP/M-Rechner (8080-Prozessoren), wobei speziell für den Schneider CPC auch die Grafikfähigkeit unterstützt wird. Dann wurde das volksFORTH für die weit verbreiteten Rechner der IBM PC-Serie angepasst.

The volksFORTH83 is an extremely powerful and compact tool. By resistant runtime library, compiler. Editor and debugger, the tiring ECLG-cycles ("Edit, Compile, Link and Go") is unnecessary. The code module is developed for the module, compiled and tested. The integrated debugger is the perfect test environment for Forth words. There are no huge hexdump or assembler listings that have little resemblance to the source text. Another important aspect is the multi-tasking. As you divide a program into individual, independent modules, or words, one should also available in single, independent processes can be divided. This is not possible in most languages. This has volksFORTH83 a simple yet powerful multi-tasker.
Das volksFORTH83 Ist ein ausgesprochen leistungsfähiges und kompaktes Werkzeug. Durch resistente Runtime-Library, Compiler. Editor und Debugger sind die ermüdenden ECLG-Zyklen ("Edit, Compile, Link and Go") überflüssig. Der Code wird Modul für Modul entwickelt, kompiliert und getestet. Der Integrierte Debugger Ist die perfekte Testumgebung für Forth-Worte. Es gibt keine riesigen Hexdumps oder Assemblerlistings, die kaum Ähnlichkeit mit dem Quellentext haben. Ein anderer wichtiger Aspekt ist das Multitasking. So wie man ein Programm in einzelne, unabhängige Module oder Worte aufteilt, so sollte man es auch in einzelne, unabhängige Prozesse aufteilen können. Das ist in den meisten Sprachen nicht möglich. Das volksFORTH83 besitzt einen einfachen, aber leistungsfähigen Multitasker.

* The vectors used in many places and so-called deferred words, allow an easy transformation of the system for different device configurations.
* It has a heap of "nameless" or words to code that is needed only temporarily. The block mechanism is so fast that it makes sense for large amounts of data processing, which are present in files that can be used.
* The system includes Tracer, Decompiler, Multi Tasker, assembler, editor, printer interface ... The volksFORTH83 produced, compared with other FORTH systems, relatively fast code that is slower than that of other compiled languages.
* Es benutzt an vielen Stellen Vektoren und sog. deferred Worte, die eine einfache Umgestaltung des Systems für verschiedene Gerätekonfigurationen ermöglichen.
* Es besitzt einen Heap für "namenlose" Worte oder für Code, der nur zeitweilig benötigt wird. Der Blockmechanismus ist so schnell, dass er auch sinnvoll für die Bearbeitung grosser Datenmengen, die in Files vorliegen, eingesetzt werden kann.
* Das System umfasst Tracer, Decompiler, Multitasker, Assembler, Editor, Printer-Interface ... Das volksFORTH83 erzeugt, verglichen mit anderen FORTH-Systemen, relativ schnellen Code, der aber langsamer als der anderer Compilersprachen ist.

This guide is intended to volksFORTH83 both as a reference and as a textbook for FORTH (especially state-FORTH). Therefore, it is not, look like the other ethnic FORTH manuals, a collection of vocabulary. Instead, with detailed descriptions and programming examples in many chapters the possibilities of the FORTH system is explained. The chapters are supplemented by each word descriptions of the commands that occur in (Glossary). To distinguish between description, FORTH-words, program inputs and expenditures will be working with different character types:
Diesem Handbuch zum volksFORTH83 Ist sowohl als Nachschlagewerk als auch als Lehrbuch für FORTH (speziell volksFORTH) gedacht. Deshalb handelt es sieh nicht, wie bei den anderen volksFORTH-Handbücher, um eine Auflistung des Vokabulars. Statt dessen wird mit ausführlichen Beschreibungen und Programmbeispielen in vielen Kapiteln die Möglichkeiten des FORTH-Systems erklärt. Ergänzt werden die einzelnen Kapitel jeweils um Wortbeschreibungen der darin vorkommenden Befehle (Glossar). Zur Unterscheidung von Beschreibung, FORTH-Worten, Programm-Eingaben und -ausgaben wird mit unterschiedlichen Schrifttypen gearbeitet:
