Unapproved Clarifications to the ANS Forth Standard

The purpose of this document is to clarify some dim places of the 1994 ANS Forth Standard (the ANS Forth standard is also ISO-recognized). Click here to see the plain text version of the last draft which must be the same as the standard, or Click here to see it in HTML, including RFI's.

I have to honestly tell you that these clarifications are unofficial.
