Hi,
Oforth new release is available : V0.9.20
The main new feature is support to Mac OS X.
Min supported version is Mac OS X 10.6
There is a known problem :
- Copy/paste from other applications is ok but there is a display issue.
This release also includes changes to some words name to, when possible,
use same name used by classical Forth words :
- ":" word can now be used to create functions
- "mod" word is used to calculate remainder (instead of rem)
- "/mod" word is used to calculate remainder and quotient (instead of divrem)
- "." word is added to print the top of the stack
...
Complete changelog is here : http://www.oforth.com/log
Regards,
Franck

Nice work Franck.
Mac users with later operating systems, certainly Mavericks, should be aware that to see files starting with "." (so they can create/modify their .bash_profile file) they need to do a couple of extra procedures. See: http://ianlunn.co.uk/articles/quickly-showhide-hidden-files-mac-os-x-mavericks/
option key instead of alt key for me (I have no alt key on my Mac keyboard).
When pasting Oforth commands to the Mac Terminal from an editor only the first character is displayed. Ignore that as it is just a cosmetic issue as Franck mentions. Just hit return or enter and the complete pasted text will display and execute.
Oforth is an interesting Forth variant and definitely worth a look for those wanting to see how a full blown object system can be done using the Forth paradigm.
