                      -------------------------------

                      by Reuben Thomas (rrt@sc3d.org)


This package is an implementation of Charles Moore's Machine Forth model,
adapted from the F21 version for the ARM architecture. The package includes
the following files:

ReadMe            - this file
mf.pdf            - specification and discussion of the system
mf.fs             - source of the compiler
asm.fs            - Machine Forth assembler
mf32              - Machine Forth binary (for Acorn RISC OS)
armf.fs           - source for ARM Forth
armf              - ARM Forth binary (for Acorn RISC OS)
random_*.{fs.c}   - random numbers benchmark
primes_*.{fs.c}   - primes benchmark

Bugs and comments

Please send me bug reports and comments; I may well fix any bugs, but I don't
intend to do further work on MF32, as it was just an experiment. I'm most
interested in comments on the design or information about other
implementations of Machine Forth.
