CVM-Forth Files

CVM-Forth is a Forth compiler for the Compiled Virtual Machine CVM.

CVM is a virtual machine running a simple programming language looking like assembly language but with a syntax more similar to C. This virtual machine can be implemented either by interpreting byte code, or by compiling CVM language into machine code of a given processor.

More informations concerning CVM are in the file cvmdoc.txt.

Actually only a subset of the Forth programming language is implemented in CVM-Forth.
A documentation of this language is in the file forthdoc.txt.

The CVM source of CVM-Forth is in the file forth.cvm.

To run it :

 - Interpreted mode under Linux :
    ./cvm-linux-interp r forth.cvm

 - Interpreted mode under DOS :
    cvmint r forth.cvm

 - Compiled mode under DOS :
    cvmint c forth.cvm forth.asm
    tasm forth
    tlink forth+cvmrtlc+cvmrtla
    forth

 - Pocket PC or smartphone under Windows Mobile :
    CVM-Forth runs under Pocket Console which is included in Pocket GCC ( pgcc-native.zip ).
    Copy the file forth.cvm to cvm.txt in the root directory of the main memory of the pocket PC.
    Copy cvm-wm-interp.exe and cvm-wm-comparm.exe anywhere in the main memory of the pocket PC (it seems it does not work in a memory card).
    Run the DOS terminal of Pocket Console.
    Run cvm-wm-interp for interpreted mode or cvm-wm-comparm for compiled mode.
