# 1 Introduction

This is a nice long article about Forth:

JonesForth is a simple public domain Forth implementation for Linux i386. It’s also very heavily commented and serves as a nice tutorial.

Mostly as a learning exercise, I ported it to Windows i386 (cross-compile with MINGW and run with Wine):

My port is not perfect by any means, but it passes the test suite without crashing.

I haven’t tested this yet but I think it should work on my phone with Termux and Hangover Wine.

Next step is learning how to write Forth.
