Documentation is difficult stuff to write, and even more difficult to keep up to date, so please <a href="mailto:win...@ya...?subject=DOC: Doc error in $Id: p-index.htm,v 1.1 2007/07/07 14:27:57 jos_ven Exp $"> inform us if you find errors</a> or omissions, or speling erors like this; anything, no matter how small. You'll find the link to do so on all the documentation pages (it's marked with this icon <img border="0" src="TELLUS.gif" width="16" height="16"> in the top left hand corner of each page) or if you'd like to contribute (words only, there's no money involved in this at all), please jot up your ideas and <a href="mailto:win...@ya...?subject=DOC: Here's my doc I'd like you to consider."> let us know</a>. There are no navigation buttons on these pages; please use your browser's back and forward buttons.</p> <h2>Who's the We?</h2> <p>The <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/win32forth">Win32Forth Project Group</a> was formed in 2002 as a loose affiliation of programmers and users of Tom Zimmer's Win32Forth system. Tom interests took him elsewhere in 2001 and 2002 (mainly Java), and he no longer took an active interest in his system. Tom gifted his product into the public domain; this group intends furthering the work of maintaining and developing a Forth product suitable for Windows and the 21st century based on his work. </p> <p>Some of this documentation is based on Tom's original work; when you see "we" it means the Win32Forth group; when you see I, it's Tom speaking. You is definitely not us or him. Anyhow, enough of that (or this), lets</p> <hr> <h2>START HERE!</h2> <p>ok, ok, I'll quit shouting. As the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/">"Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy"</a> <img border="0" src="ONWEB.gif" width="16" height="16"> would say; </p> <h2 align="center"><b><font size="5" color="#FF0000">"DON'T PANIC"</font></b></h2> <p align="left">Getting started isn't that difficult and the rest, you can pickup along the way. </p> <p>You are about to embark on a great adventure. Your intelligence and determination will allow you to explore, discover and conquer the complex world of Forth in a Windows environment. Proceed slowly and carefully, you don't want to get shot down too often or too quickly, and remember that the rewards you receive for your effort, include: mastery of the well known, but little understood programming continent, called Windows. But, the fun is in the trip, so enjoy it. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, few of them are likely to be fatal. Share what you learn with others. Remember that discovery within a group is rewarding for everyone in the group. Don't take this too seriously. </p> <p>Most of the hyperlinks in this file take you to destinations that are in files loaded as part of the Win32Forth install, but some links will take you to Internet web addresses that contain additional resources.
